Twenty years ago I traveled to Pasco Steel in Pohang, South Korea. Their 100 ton arc furnace mad 28 heats of 304 Stainless steel in 24 hours. U.S. steel is more than 20 years late in this game.

I had a close relative who designed and commissioned electric arc furnaces for US Steel as part of their central engineering department. Whoever made this video needs to be smacked for stating that this is US Steel's first EAF. Is it any surprise that Nucor and SDI are kicking these people's rear end in the market and have been for some time. I wish this relative were still alive today because he was a wealth of knowledge. Ironically when US Steel canned him and everyone else in central engineering in the early 1980s he went to work for an equipment supplier which built mini-mills both domestically and overseas. These mills in turn went after US Steel and beat them down to what they are now which is a shell of their former selves. I guess you could call that sweet revenge. He did say that US Steel should have utilized electric arc furnaces along with the new German bloom caster and Italian tube mill that were installed in the early 1980s. He didn't think Fairfield was the best location either. It was clear to him even in the early 1980s that the electric arc furnace process was the way to go for all long product steel production in North America. Anyone with practical knowledge of EAFs, even back then, knew that producing long products with a BOP or Q-BOP was not the wave of the future yet they built the plant at Fairfield anyways.

@@felixyusupov7299 I am like you and not impressed with it. If someone crawl out of a cave he might be impressed with this propaganda. I find it pathetic for the U.S. Steel to wake up this late in the game.

I work at us steel a long time ago and now I don't care what they do.

thanks it's real great

Interesting video. Looks like US Steel is learning from Nucor. I think they even use the same music in their videos. By the way people this is not US Steel's first electric arc furnace facility. Not even close. One of my close relatives worked for US Steel's central engineering department in Pittsburgh and he designed and built electric arc furnaces for US Steel and competitors. US Steel had electric arc furnaces at Fairless Works, National Duquesne Works, South Works and Texas Works. Building this EAF at Fairfield is a smart move.

You need to get a better source thats all wrong info with the exception of the last sentence.

@@Cradige Your talking out of your rear end. Here is an example of an EAF designed, built and run by US Steel back in the day. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqXCfKVpfrusfsk

Yeah they're starting to eliminate blast furnaces and replacing them with these stupid electric Arc furnaces which cuts down most of the production of Steel anyway it slows it down compared to when the blast furnace used to operate it was wonderful getting more metal and more productive work done with constant casting I just hate that our American Heritage and still making has gone down the ass and making everything look bad for the veterans of the steel industry who fought tooth and nail and basically Bled sweat

[@WAL_DC-6B]

U.S. Steel's steel making part (BOF) of its Granite City, IL works is being shut down, but they're maintaining their two blast furnaces there for pig iron production to provide for their electric arc furnaces at their other steel making facilities.

SO FUCKING WHAT
