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.
SMU has analyzed the old and new galvanized extras below. Select US Steel extras decreased between 7-10%, with an average decrease of 9%. USS extras were previously revised in May 2022.
