I worked at the Roanoke steel plant the last 3 years after steel dynamics bought it ! Loved the job, diagnosed with m/s running a overhead meltshop crane carrying 80 tons of melting steel, I was not putting the guys on the ground lives in danger for my problem ! Miss those guys, loved that job, but all good things come to a end they say !!

Everyone should see an electric arc furnace in action; it's the definition of spectacular.

Wow! Excellent video. Thanks for showing and explaining the processes so well. I appreciate the recycling end of your business, too. Very well done!

I my memories internship in 1998 with SDI. I loved that moment.

Its always cool seeing places you have worked at thru the years.

I get the pleasure of working in this plant time to time as a contractor with Horner Industrial and it’s an amazing facility. Hard to take it all in.

I was told once that the research report Bethlehem Steel wrote on why thin slab casting wouldn't work was thicker than the slabs cast by SDI and Nucor.

somewhere, someone had to think up all this.... amazing

I really enjoyed this video! Educational and well done.

I worked in EAF maintenance... it was so cool...

Fantastic thats the way to make it Great to watch thanks

I'm watching this as a model railroader who wants to figure out how to model a small section of this. Pretty informative and helpful. Always looking for more info though, so if you know more about the rail cars going in an out, let me know please.

Thank you Sir and SDI.

Worked out there in the late 90’s , it was pretty cool

I work in the electricity industry in the UK and one of my Substations supplies an EAF, and boy do they take some current when operating! Makes the volts on the 33kV side jump around like crazy.

WIsh it was longer video,,place looks great!

Very interesting and informative.

2nd largest processer of scrap, man thats two indiana companies that made it big, I belive omnisource started out in fort wayne or indy, and sdi that is dekalb county indiana born and is like number 2 steel producer in the nation and they are less then 20 years old that is an accomplishment, though with some techniques Mr Busse learned while at nucore with the mini mill concept, it is not a small feat to get that big in such a short time in an industry like steel that was dominated by heavyweights many of who are no longer around or as big as the heyday.

It’s amazingly amazing

I would enjoy seeing a video of the structural and rail division mill in Columbia city, IN

I wish they could do the same with all the plastics that end up in the oceans.

Electric bill of 8 mil a month? With 115 megawatts they might as well build there own powerplant 😅

👨‍💻👍 watch it

Ist nicht geschrieben welche Hochofen ist das ob läufen die auf Gas oder Kohle oder Elektrik weil, jetzt brauchen wir doch naich auf Kohle aber, auf elektrik solche Hochofen haben. Es wird egendwann keine Kohle? Das beduted mit Kohle musst mann sparen. Blitz hat doch cca 250.000 Elektronenvolt und 30.000 °.

See I think these type companies should get free electric, or natural gas or what ever they are using,

Carbon neutral by 2050. I guess Iron Dynamics can kiss it's rear end goodbye. Best thing really. Gas based direct reduced iron processes like Midrex are the superior technology.

The promotioal and advertising guru's make you feel pathetic if you dont have the latest car , washing machine , fridge or any other comsumer goods that are made predominantly from steel . The environmentalists frown upon any one that drives an older car . The off set of 1 mpg extra doesnt equate to the pollution produced melting down a older vehical and then produce a whole new set of emmisions to made a similar vehical . I read some rants on pollution and carbon foot prints on a blokes fb page named Gregory O'Meley Interest points on subjects that Greta sourthumb hasnt touched on

7 to 8 million a month electric bill. I have to call BS on making a profit

Imagine if we tried to rely on women to manufacture this stuff!.. .. woild NEVER happen
