Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making & Market Fundamentals Workshop June 5 & 6

Steel Market Update steel training workshops continue to be very popular. We are finding many companies sending their new people to our flagship Steel 101 workshop. This workshop is excellent for those new to the industry; however, it is not just for new employees. It is an excellent way to expand the knowledge base of veteran employees, those changing positions within the company, new executives coming into the industry, as well as those who just want a refresher course on how steel is made, how flat (sheet & plate) and long (bars/beams/wire, etc.) are rolled, and the various factors that influence steel prices, from commodities pricing to market forces such as trade remedies.

The next workshop will be held at the Westin on Beale Street in Memphis, Tenn. On the first day of the workshop, we will go through the steelmaking process from both the fully integrated as well as electric arc furnace (minimill) processes. In the afternoon, we will visit the Nucor Hickman sheet mill (flat rolled mill) as well as Nucor-Yamato, which produces beams and also has one of Nucor’s Castrip mills.
