SSAB's steel is custom-made in Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF). The continuous caster, in combination with the state-of-the-art Steckel Mills, provide customers with exacting width and gauge control, superb surface finish and uniform mechanical properties.
In 1997, SSAB began producing steel at its Montpelier steelworks leveraging more than thirty years of experience in Steckel rolling technology in the region. The Montpelier mill was the first plate mill in the world to incorporate continuous flow production. The Montpelier steelworks’ annual capacity is 1,250,000 tons of plate up to 120" wide and up to 3" thick and hot rolled coil up to 96" wide and 0.750" thick.
Building on the success of the Montpelier facility, a second state-of-the-art steelworks was constructed in Mobile, Alabama. The Mobile steelworks, which commenced operations in 2001, produces 1,250,000 tons per annum of discrete plate and coil, in dimensions similar to the Montpelier plant. In addition, Mobile has the capability to heat treat and blast and paint plates.
SSAB in North America is certified to ISO-9001 and several other accrediting bodies. Its Quality Assurance program monitors the steel through each phase of production.
SSAB produces heavy plate in grades and sizes to suit customer requirements. The variable size range minimizes customer trim waste. Vertical edgers on SSAB's roughing mill will give consistent widths while the finishing mill will provide superior gauge control and surface finish. Plate thickness from 0.188" through 1.25" will be supplied with sheared ends. Plate thicker than 1.25" will be provided with flame cut ends.
