    US Steel Adjusts Galvanized and Galvalume Coating Extras Lower

    Written by Brett Linton

    US Steel made downward revisions to their galvanized and Galvalume coating extras on Monday, with new extras going into effect Sept. 4, 2022.

    Earlier this month, Steel Dynamics, NLMK USA, and Wheeling-Nippon also revised their galvanized coating extras. SMU provides an updated comparison of mill galvanized coating extras in the Resources section of our website, comparing G30, G60 and G90 coating weights between ten US mills. Detailed extras by individual mill are also available via the right-side navigation menu on that page. A history of US Steel Galvalume extras can be seen here on our website.

    Plate supply squeeze tightens as demand presses higher

    The domestic plate market is showing few signs of relief for steel buyers. Lead times are stretching well beyond seasonal norms, spot availability has all but evaporated, and mills are drawing hard lines on contract volumes heading into 2027 negotiations. And the supply squeeze will likely intensify in a market that some industry sources say is structurally undersupplied because of stringent US trade and tariff policies. Imports have been arriving in larger volumes, and the expectation is they will continue to tick higher into 2027. The big question is whether those foreign tons will arrive in volumes sufficient to provide the relief steel consumers want.
