Written by Brett Linton
The American Iron & Steel Institute (AISI) recently reported final raw steel production estimates for the month of December 2014. This estimation is different than the weekly raw steel production as it is based on 75 percent of the domestic mills reporting vs. 50 percent for the weekly estimates.
Total raw steel production for the month of December was reported to be 7,947,152 net tons with 4,794,383 tons being produced by electric arc furnaces (EAF) and 3,152,769 tons produced by blast furnaces. December raw steel production was reported by the AISI to have been 0.1 percent lower than the previous month.
