Abstract
DURING World War II, when the availability of alloy steels from abroad was poor, attempts were made to have makeshift indigenous production. Pioneers in the field were the Tata Iron & Steel Co.Ltd. Tatas started making alloy steels a little over two decades hack for the construction of the new Howrah Bridge, when they patented their ' Tiscor ' steel - a low-alloy constr-uctional steel with approximately 1 per cent chrome and 0.5 per cent Cu, having better resistance to atmo-sphere corrosion than ordinary mild steel. A major part of the steel structure of the Howrah Bridge is fabri- cated from Tatas' 'Tiscor' steel.
