Blast Furnace Outages Update at AM & USS
Written by Sandy Williams
As quickly as repaired blast furnaces come back online at US Steel and ArcelorMittal we are seeing them taking down more steelmaking equipment.
SMU received word that ArcelorMittal Cleveland Works restarted the C-5 blast furnace early Monday morning, May 26. The C-5 blast furnace has been down for a couple of weeks resulting in the loss of approximately 74,000 tons of pig iron production. This was an unplanned outage.
