ArcelorMittal posts solid results as commissioning of Calvert EAF begins

AM/NS Calvert has begun commissioning its new electric-arc furnace, with plans to reach its full annual run rate of 1.65 million short tons a year from now.

ArcelorMittal CEO Aditya Mittal said the EAF’s ability to produce exposed automotive grades will be “game-changing.” However, due to the stringent qualifications process to supply automotive-quality steels, the ramp-up of the furnace will be slower.
