    Quench Facility Closed Permanently at Lorain Tubular

    Written by Sandy Williams


    US Steel announced it will permanently close the No. 6 Quench and Temper Mill at Lorain Tubular Operations. The line has been idle since March 2015 and will be permanently shut down by June 8.

    “This proposed action is a strategic decision for the company after considering a number of factors, including challenging market conditions for tubular products and unfairly traded imports,” said U.S. Steel spokeswoman Erin DiPietro.
