US Steel Gary Works Furnace Back Online
Written by John Packard
US Steel advised us their number 8 blast furnace at USS Gary Works was “operational” after being down for approximately 3 weeks. We understand from our sources that the furnace came back up late last week.
The #8 blast furnace at Gary Works is the smallest operating furnace at that facility. The furnace is rated by AIST at 3,300 tons of pig iron (not steel) production per day. The furnace originally went down of Sunday, June 1st and was down for approximately three weeks which was the lower end of the range we provided at the time of the original outage.
