Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard
I have just returned from three days in Memphis where we conducted our Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making & Market Fundamentals workshop. We had a packed house of motivated steel people from a wide variety of companies. Nucor Hickman and Nucor-Yamato did a great job of hosting our group as we toured both steel mills. I also want to thank the Nucor team for hosting the networking dinner we had that evening. Here is what one of our attendees had to say about the workshop, “Great introduction class to How Steel is Made and the Steel Market. Hoping there is a Steel 102 that I can attend also.” Mary Aloisio, McNichols Company.
Our next steel training workshop will be at AK Steel’s new research center and we will be touring their AK Steel Middletown fully integrated steel mill. This will be different than our normal Steel 101 workshop as we will spend less time discussing the basics of steel making and more time studying the future of the steel industry with advanced high strength steels for automotive and other applications. We hope to have registration open for our “Steel 201” workshop soon. The dates will be September 18-19, 2018. More details to come soon.
