(Viewed 439 times) marektel  Gender: Male  |  Open hearth steel? < on 1/22/2010 4:21 PM >   Hi, Posting this in NE and GL since I'm on the border (Pittsburgh). Does anyone know of a steel mill, active or dead, that has a standing open hearth furnace? No, not a blast furnace. Below is a link to a guys flickr pics from USS Homestead while it was being demolished. It shows the open hearths. Yes, I'm green with jealousy that he was there to capture it. http://www.flickr....72157603709750359/ Thanks fiftyone_eggs  Location: jerzey Gender: Male  |  |  Re: Open hearth steel? <Reply # 1 on 1/22/2010 5:11 PM >   bethlehem still had them up till about 1 year ago.

I'm pretty sure all OHF's were replaced with BOF's in this counry. Posted by fiftyone_eggs bethlehem still had them up till about 1 year ago. (i know that doesn't help) i think maybe weirton? They demo'd the blooming mill and the open hearth furnaces at Weirton in summer '08. tron_2.0  Location: Ohio Gender: Male  |  |  |  Re: Open hearth steel? <Reply # 3 on 1/22/2010 8:03 PM >   Yeah, good luck finding remnants of them in the USA.

Could be an open hearth, no? Is there any place in America where the factories are actually *expanding*? Am I 5 decades too late? tron_2.0  Location: Ohio Gender: Male  |  |  |  Re: Open hearth steel? <Reply # 5 on 1/22/2010 9:45 PM >   Doubtful. Thats a hot rolling facility and likely produces steel by a basic oxygen system. [quote][i]Posted by yokes[/i] I find your lack of coziness.... disturbing.
