Cleveland-Cliffs announced the commissioning of its Vertical Stainless Bright Anneal Line at its Coshocton Works facility in Coshocton, Ohio.
The $150 million capital investment has been completed. Cliffs said the line will supply premium stainless steel for high-end automotive and critical appliance applications.
Details
The annealing line utilizes a 100% hydrogen atmosphere instead of conventional acid-based processing. It also includes a hydrogen recovery unit to recycle hydrogen and uses a 50/50 mix of new and used hydrogen.
The Cleveland-based steelmaker said a ribbon cutting ceremony will be held on Wed., July 2, at Coshocton Works.
Goncalves lauds hydrogen
“Since acquiring AK Steel in 2020, our stainless steel business has been the most consistent profit-generating unit for Cleveland-Cliffs,” Lourenco Goncalves, Cliffs’ chairman, president, and CEO, said in a statement on Friday.
“By using hydrogen and advanced automation, we’re dramatically improving the quality and productivity of this critical product that our customers rely upon Cleveland-Cliffs for,” he added.
