Steel Market Update monitors the North American integrated steel mills which use a Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) to produce steel from the pig iron produced by their blast furnace(s) and scrap. In addition to their operation status, the table below includes information on plant names, location by city and state, furnace capacity, the number of furnaces, the number of vessels, and if the mill has a vacuum degasser which allows the mill to produce IF or ultra low carbon steels.
