I've been in this mill many times to work. It's just down the road from me. My grandfather worked there during the war in place of my great-uncle (his brother) who flew a B-24. When the war ended by grandpa got the boot and his brother had been killed in the Pacific. War is hell and so is the after-peace sometimes.

At Brackenridge, four electric arc furnaces melt stainless and other specialty materials for subsequent refining in a 125-ton argon-oxygen decarburization (AOD) vessel which feeds a continuous caster. Slabs and other specialty steel ingots are hot rolled on a six-stand hot strip mill for shipment to other plants. Brackenridge also finishes certain stainless steel, silicon electrical steel and other specialty alloy sheet and strip.
