Made in the U.S.A. for more than 100 years
On March 7, team members from Fairfield Tubular Steel Operations (FTSO) traveled to Germany to attend Steelmaker to Steelmaker training in Kehl, Germany with Badische-Stahl Engineering GmbH (BSE). Although the training was cut short due to travel restrictions related to COVID-19, the team returned to Alabama with a new understanding of electric arc furnace (EAF) operations.
A lot of progress has been made inside the EAF building. The furnace is in place and the vault that will house the EAF transformer is under construction.
