Red wine is bad for your health, experts reveal in a new report.
In a u-turn, Government experts have dismissed the supposed health benefits of wine and are set to rewrite the rule book on the nation’s alcohol consumption, according to reports.
A landmark report by Chief Medical Officer Dame Sally Davies will destroy the long-held belief that red wine can cut the risk of cancer, heart disease and memory loss when drunk in moderation, the Sun reported.
In the first overhaul of alcohol guidelines for two decades, doctors will reportedly warn that there is no “safe” level of alcohol consumption and drinking just a small amount may in fact increase the risk of some cancers.
A source said: “The report will send a clear signal that the dangers of drinking are far more than previously thought.”
The review was launched in 2012 and its findings are expected to reflect the latest research that links even occasional alcohol consumption to health problems in later life.
The Government currently advises men do not drink more than three to four units per day – up to 21 units or less per week – while women should drink no more than two to three units a day, or 14 units per week.
Under the new guidelines the gender difference will be thrown out and drinkers will be to keep off the booze for at least two days a week in order to allow their livers to recover.
A recent study by University College London found patients who gave up for four weeks saw benefits for their liver function, blood pressure and cholesterol levels and were also at lower risk of developing diabetes and liver disease.
And a report by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) advised middle-aged people there is “no safe level of alcohol consumption”.
It says the same health benefits can be more easily achieved with exercise and healthy eating.

So now don’t buy Red Wine.  Buy Steel is better from OTAI SPECIAL STEEL.  😀

China Steel market news-2015-11-20

Shanghai market volume manufacture price move now, the anshan iron and steel resources generally rise 4.5 USD/ton, benxi steel posco resources fell USD 1.2/ton, clinch a deal the overall weak still. Throughout the entire market, cold-rolled resource is still in the relatively normal level, inventory pressure. Demand side, has entered the off-season, and money is tight, insufficient utilization industries such as cars, home appliances and shutdown phenomenon is relatively common, shrinking consumer demand for cold rolling, so as to make the inventory consumption is slow, sales businesses face high pressure. Entering late, means that a new round of order cycle, and merchants to steel mill order, will take cash price model, which to a large extent can aggravate the decline in the price.

1, What is DF2 steel?

DF2 steel is a quenching oil cold work tool steel. 

DF2 steel ‘s Chemical composition as below:

2,  Equivalent of DF2 steel

it is equivalent with AISI O1, GB 9CrWMn, JIS SKS3, DIN 100MnCrW4, W-Nr 1.2510 oil steel.

3, Delvery condition of DF2: 

① Soft annealed to max. 230 HB.

6，Heat treatment of DF2 steel

① SOFT ANNEALING

Protect the steel and heat through to 780°C. Cool in the furnace at 15°C per hour to 650°C, then freely in air

② STRESS RELIEVING

After rough machining, the tool should be heated through to 650°C, holding time 2 hours. Cool slowly to 500°C, then freely in air.

③ HARDENING

Preheating temperature: 600 – 700°C Austenitising temperature: 790 – 850°C

④ QUENCHING MEDIA

in the Warm oil,about 80°C;

Martempering bath or fluidised bed at 180 – 225°C, then cooling in air;
