Watch the successful start-up of our newly constructed, technologically advanced electric arc furnace (EAF) recently installed at our steelmaking facility in Fairfield, Alabama. The EAF method of steelmaking utilizes electrical energy to melt a heat of steel. This process charges recycled steel scrap into the furnace, which is then heated by electric arcs; melting the scrap into liquid steel.

Fairfield EAF #1 commenced its first arc, charged and melted steel scrap, and on October 20, 2020, tapped its first heat of liquid steel. The EAF start-up is the latest milestone providing customer value through the our “Best of Both” integrated and mini-mill technology strategy.
