Steel has always been the backbone of nation’s economy. steel industry, the business of processing iron ore into steel, which in its simplest form is an iron-carbon alloy, and in some cases, turning that metal into partially finished products or recycling scrap metal into steel. The steel industry grew out of the need for stronger and more easily produced metals. Technological advances in steel making during the last half of the 19th cent. played a key role in creating modern economies dependent on rails, automobiles, girders, bridges, and a variety of other steel products. At steel plant there is emphasis on total automation, seamless integration and efficient up gradation, which result in wide range of long and structural products to meet stringent demands of discerning customers within India and abroad. The bush is a stationary element in the bearing assembly. The bearing bushing is to be considered as the radial bearing proper. It is designed in the form of a babbitt–metal lined steel shell. The babbitt metal is a one type of soft metal used in bush is to perform operations with most effective. Reasonably long eye bolts are screwed into the tapped holes provided in the flange faces of the bushing. So many bushes at both drive side and operation side are get damaged because the wear out takes place on the inside babbit metal layer. The damaged bushes are sending to the scrap area. The main objective of this project is to reduce the inventory cost by reconditioning of bushes in wire rod mill. In this research work, the damaged bushes are reconditioned by using metal coating (Two wire electric arc spraying) method.
