Clean Steels
˽av continues to make significant strides in sustainable steel cleanliness. By utilizing enhanced melt practice developments and strict process controls, ˽av is producing bearing quality steels in its continuous casters. ˽av recently expanded to a 240 mm bloom at its Monroe, Michigan mill, resulting in a greater reduction ratio, improved surface quality and cleaner steel with fewer inclusions. ˽av is also investing more than $70.3M over the next three years to upgrade Monroe’s electric arc furnace and ladle refining technologies.
