ArcelorMittal Dofasco

Production site of Differdange, Luxembourg. A furnace for scrap-based steelmaking. Once the furnace is charged and covered, graphite electrodes are lowered through holes in the roof. The electric arc travelling between the electrodes and the metallic charge creates intense heat which melts the scrap. Alloying elements can be added during the process

The ArcelorMittal Vega plant is a flat carbon steel cold rolling, pickling and galvanizing unit located at São Francisco do Sul, Brazil

Construction of a third blast furnace that enabled the production capacity of the plant to be increased from 5 to 7.5 million tonnes. The plant in Tubarão produces flat carbon steel: slabs (semi-finished products) and hot-rolled coils

ArcelorMittal Tubarão in Brazil, is one of the world's most competitive producers of flat carbon steels

Slabs are semi-finished steel products obtained by rolling ingots on a rolling mill or processed through a continuous caster and cut into various lengths. The slab has a rectangular cross section and is used as a starting material in the production process of flat products, i.e., hot rolled coils.

Inspection of a galvanized strip at the exit looper of the DoSol Galva Line. Strips are flat steel coil products, with widths of less than 600mm for hot rolled products and less than 500mm for cold rolled products. The wider flat products are called wide strips
