This video is why im an operator and not a mechanic. I get to sit in the control room and push buttons while the maintenance guys do the hard work. Keep it up guys. (I work in water treatment, class A operator)
1982, I was assistant to CEO of a US metal company. Not steel. Customers like Campbell Soup (for cans). We wouldn't import Chinese. Their metal was impure, poor quality. I can see how y'all can make strong steel. Great video . Keep posting. 🇺🇸
Chinese steel mills vary, but they have some of the best globally, and can produce to meet Western quality and grade specs no problem, and cheaper. You do have to verify however.

I got to see one of the last pours at Kaiser Steel, after 40 years of production near San Bernardino, Calif. There were more than 30 miles of RR track at the facility. 4 blast furnaces, 8 coke ovens, and huge coal handling facilities.
I grew up near a mill using scrap in Emeryville CA which is now a massive shopping center. It had a large electric furnace and when it was fired the whole building would belch smoke and roar incrediby load, -the sound from the furnace could be heard a couple of miles away at night.
Gerday is a multinational Brazilian Company, and so I am. I'm a 20 years experienced overhead crane operator working for big steel industries in Br, but now searching for jobs in other countries.
1 steel mill in my town. Half of my family has worked at the mill in my town. I am a 4th generation steel worker. Great east but very dangerous job. Half the time I just get to sit around and make over 30 bucks an hour on straight time and it's even better when I'm on OT
I worked over 30 years in a steel (coke plant, electric furnace, track department,and other departments) and the only time you would sit if you were a machine operator. What your job title?
Most of these guys have highschool educations and they make more than many who went to college, college is good but you don't necessarily need it to be successful
It pays good because it is heavy, dirty, unhealthy work. If you don't mind that, go for it. And being succesful is something very different from being wealthy.
US steel stock has been performing poorly three years and it's still a poor stocked her on so all the malarkey about the steel being made in this country it's just that
Steel produced in Germany, UK and America cannot compete with the state subsidized steel of China on price. Steel produced in China should face tariffs when entering both Europe and America and that has happened. Most of the US steel companies are profitable and they all have billions of cash on hand.
70kA, 3 phase at the furnace is actually only a couple hundred amps on the incoming transmission line. The voltage is stepped down to less than 1,000 volts before it goes to the electrodes that arc thru the steel.
There is nothing wrong with plastic. The issue is that governments have been promising recycling of plastics. What really happens is that plastic is sent to places like China who then take the plastic out on boats and dump it into the sea. There are industrial scale recycling industries that actively dump plastics into the sea.
Come on mate one small amount of fuel on the ground is not going to do that. No wonder the Chinese steel industry is able to undercut American and European steel.
I celibate the men & women who perfom these tasks. How about we stop over using the word " hero" remember, without that arc furnace, nothing is possible. The materials we've used & all of a sudden vilified over the last few years are dependent on this process. No battery will ever produce the energy needed for this process. Thanks to all who are willing to do this job. Haters, should be removed from the grid & consumption of these and other materials they hate. Furnaces built America, sabed Europe twice. With respect to all of you , thanks!!!
So the video opens up with a blatant propaganda saying we produce enough Steel for 2 Golden Gate Bridges; however do you realize HOW MINUSCULE an amount that is in the grand scheme of things! We have gutted and destroyed the US Steel industry, sold our souls for a dollar bill.
3000 years of technical improvements in the manufacture of steel. Its amazing how critical it is to modern living.

absolutely right.
Steel only 200 odd yrs old with few exceptions.

It's got it's ups and downs. Ups especially when nothing's broke... Sweet break room (it even has A/C!)
Its all good till that damm taphole sont open and you gotta go down and lance for hours

Poured the steel for all the liberty ships on the west coast, WW2
I lived 2 miles from the mill when I was a youngster
Poured the steel for the Santa Maria when Columbis shipped to America
God bless mike row for keeping the blue collar man in the eye of the worlds view!!!! 🇺🇸💪
I love these new Mike Rowe skits on Fox.
Great work.
I was raised in Midlothian, TX and this steel mill used to be called chaparral steel before getting bought out by Gerdau like a decade ago.
I didn't go to college but ended up in a Gerdau steel mill. To my blue collar Man/Woman stay safe !
USWA
Good to see him back on TV. It was ridiculous that he was ever taken off of it.
My grandfathers were steelworkers back in the day.
I’m sure it was very hard, hot, dirty, and dangerous work. Hats off to them!

No . Green deal = no steel . All jobs to China

Cool video👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
4:31 Halo Spartan sheild sound
How many amps does it take to power ?
Ahhh! The life of a maintenance mechanic! Let me diagnose it first then I will tell what is wrong with it!
love it ... empty now ... as it drains all over the ground lol epa would love that
Most steel should be heat dipped galvanized or stainless steel. The idea in this age cars still rust is ridiculous.
Galvanized and stainless steel is not needed for most applications. I agree it is for automotive products.
Get with the times re car panels.
I'd like to see what brand of catfish pole you guys are using. Lol

I got a job at a steel mill, shucking steel like a slave. Five long years for one woman and she had the nerve to put me out.
For my crane techs brothers out there, Any of yall scratch your head when he was uptop rather than the doghouse?
It's because he's a mechanic...mechanics always look at the brakes first
70,000 amps. oh my
Per leg, 3 legs, 210,000 amps!!! Would not want to see that electric bill!
@@acdii It would be like Algores.
Sleepy Joe said it can be ran by solar panels and windmills
70kA, 3 phase at the furnace is actually only a couple hundred amps on the incoming transmission line. The voltage is stepped down to less than 1,000 volts before it goes to the electrodes that arc thru the steel.
Why do we not make our own oil?

Buy American made products they say... put me down for 20lbs of melted steel please. Christmas is around the corner and my ex was asking for a present
Steel is more recycled than asphalt?
By weight, yep.
~60% to 70% of all steel produced is recycled.

Now if we can eliminate the unnecessary plastic.
There is nothing wrong with plastic. The issue is that governments have been promising recycling of plastics. What really happens is that plastic is sent to places like China who then take the plastic out on boats and dump it into the sea.
There are industrial scale recycling industries that actively dump plastics into the sea.
Steel company in Kentucky
Far out America’s industry is ageing horribly.
500 ppm is .20% carbon content or 0.05% carbon content. What they are making is low carbon steel.
Usually A36 or the like. Got to keep the carbon content low for weldability.
How many wind turbines does it take to power one steel mill? Probably three times more than exist on the entire planet in 2023.
so this guy is " The Claw" from the Toy Story movies
Jet fuel can't melt steel beams!
Climate change is hoax.
Green deal = no planes steel
Is he just dumping the fuel on the ground? Enviro hazard for groundwater?
Come on mate one small amount of fuel on the ground is not going to do that. No wonder the Chinese steel industry is able to undercut American and European steel.
Gasoline was always dumped on the ground. A useless byproduct of diesel fuel process.
Problems all created by the producer
Must be some really well paying jobs here...but ya gotta be willing to get your hands...at least...dirty

I think asphalt is the most recycled material and that's a fact
When you start a statement with "I think" pretty sure it cant be followed with " that's a fact"
