Every day, The Roanoke Bar Division uses scrap from old automobiles and refrigerators to produce the steel that's building America. [They are loading a charge bucket. A big overhead crane will lift it and move it over the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF). Then the bottom opens up and the scrap falls into the furnace in a blaze of orange.] |

We melt scrap steel in electric arc furnaces and continuously casts the molten steel into billets. These billets are rolled into merchant steel products consisting of angles, plain rounds, flats and channels. |
