Charred wheat on Ukrainian fertile agricultural land
A wheat field is one of the Ukrainian symbols. Ears of wheat have long carried the energy of fertility and wealth. Almost 60 percent of the territory of Ukraine is covered with fields on which grain crops are grown. The quality and fertility of Ukrainian black soil (chernozemic soil) were once ‘confirmed’ by the Germans, who transported it in wagons from Ukraine during the Second World War.
Currently in the Ukrainian regions of Zaporizhzhya, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Kherson and Donetsk the wheat fields are burning due to the explosions or the red-hot fragments of artillery shrapnel. With shelling Russia deliberately set wheat fields on fire, severely damaging crops.
The widespread destruction of the Ukrainian wheat fields that is under way now remains the Holodomor—the man-made famine orchestrated by Josef Stalin in the early 1930s to crush Ukrainian resistance to farm collectivisation. Stalin ordered the Soviet army to strip Ukrainian peasants of whatever food stores they had—even their pets. An estimated 3.9 million people died.
“The Russians are blowing up grain elevators. They are hitting cold storage facilities. There are even reports of them destroying farm equipment. There’s a very targeted approach to what they are doing.”
“Some people can’t fertilise their crop because the Russians are shooting everything that moves . There are reports of them mining the fields, the roads to the fields, not to mention a lot of unexploded ordinance and bodies in the fields. I think wheat yields will be on the floor—maybe a third or a quarter of what they’d normally be.” - Jonathan Clibborn, an Irish immigrant moved to Ukraine 15 years ago with just the shirt on his back, and now farms 3,000 hectares in the region west of Lviv, near the Polish border.
“Ukraine will not be able to plant corn. The winter wheat in the ground will not be fertilised, and the harvest sharply reduced. That’s a real danger. They are a country of 40 million people, but they produce food for 400 million. That’s the reality of a globalised world. We are all in this together.” - Arif Husain, chief economist at the UN World Food Programme.
“Food businesses sending products to the EU have had to fork out an extra £170m in export costs because of Brexit red tape, with the changes described as being “catastrophic” for some exporters.”

Are you looking for PLASTIC MOULD STEEL steel ?
DIN 2738 Plastic Mold Steel, The equivalent grade P20+Ni | DIN 2738 | AISI P20+Ni
DIN 2738 which is applicable for large & small plastic mold dies for Automotive Industries, Dies for Domestic goods , High finishing plastic Die, Boaster Plates of Presses, Die Holders & Shoe blocks for drop Hammers, Press Cassettes , Up setter Blocker, forging dies, Different dies & mold for plastic products etc.
Although less expensive options such as Aluminum exist for making molds to be used for shaping plastic, steel is most often the optimum one. It may be impose more investment to begin with but this is offset by its undoubtedly greater operational life and better finish. Also the specialized steels that have been created for plastic molding make for rapid process speed – for any duration it can handle more repetitions than other materials and so enhance productivity.
Steel properties as given below, however, have to be optimally matched to the specific application and these are:
- Degree of purity
- Polishability
- Uniformity of hardness and microstructure
- Wear resistance
- Temperature resistance
- Machinability
- Toughness and hardness
- Thermal conductivity
DIN 1.2738 Steels are low Carbon consisting of Carbon between 0.35 to 0.45%
As #ViratSpecialSteels inform us, DIN 1.2738 tool steel is usually supplied as pre-hardened/quenched and tempered to 280 – 320 HB hardness. Still, after machining if the need arises, they can be annealed by first heating to 710°C and after the temperature gap between core and surface has narrowed to 740 °C for about 2 to 5 hours; followed by cooling slowly at the rate of 10 to 20 °C per hour to about 600 °C before further air cooling.
