What is the biggest trend you’re seeing in automotive applications for steel?Jean-Luc Thirion: Weight-saving to reduce fuel consumption has been the key concern for OEMs for more than 20 years. ArcelorMittal’s advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) has met this challenge through regular and significant increases in tensile strength. The potential weight savings of these products has been constantly showcased in our S-in motion® projects.

From the beginning, our S-in motion® program was our long-term strategy to accompany carmakers in their quest for weight and cost savings, as well as safety and comfort improvement. Our S-in motion® platforms are designed to enable OEMs to customize them to meet their requirements.

At the start of the project, our focus was on developing solutions for C segment vehicles. Since launching that range in 2010, we have constantly been extending the project’s scope, bringing to the market AHSS solutions for all kinds of vehicles including for pick-ups, light commercial vehicles, sport utilities and mid-size sedans, electric vehicles, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV).

To give you an example of the progress automakers are seeing from one model to another, I can tell you the body of the 2016 Honda Civic comprises 59 percent high-strength steel and 14 percent ultra high-strength steel – up from 55 percent and one percent, respectively, in the previous model – enabling a 68 pound weight saving, despite its larger size and greater stiffness.

We are now expanding the scope of AHSS applications beyond the body to vehicle parts, such as doors and seats. In the case of doors, weight savings of up to 20 percent are achievable.

Doesn’t increased strength come at the expense of formability? Jean-Luc Thirion: That’s true, but one of the major ways to overcome this is by using hot stamping. In this process, which has become a mainstream solution, steel blanks are heated to around 900°C and then quenched in cooled dies. The process causes a martensitic microstructure in the part, imparting ultra high-strength, which can be more than 1500 MPa. This means components can be constructed with thinner gauges of steel than would otherwise be possible, making them lightweight and flexible. The Volvo XC90 contains the most press-hardened steel of any vehicle on the road today. More than 40 percent of the steel that goes into the Volvo XC90 body structure is Usibor®.

In fact, we’re on the verge of beginning commercial production of our second generation of ultra high-strength steels (UHSS) for hot stamping called Usibor® 2000 and Ductibor® 1000.

Ductibor® 1000 is a high-strength, press-hardenable steel (PHS) that offers good energy absorption capacity. Typical applications for Ductibor® 1000 include energy absorption parts such as front and rear rails and lower B-pillars. It has become very important to the automotive industry as a way of meeting specific crash-performance criteria, while ensuring low overall weight at an affordable cost.

Usibor® 2000, is an aluminum-silicon coated PHS. It’s stronger than its predecessor Usibor® 1500 and enables automakers to fabricate parts with complicated geometrics at a very high strength without formability or spring-back challenges. Typical applications for

Usibor® 2000 include strength-critical passenger compartment parts, such as rockers, pillars, roof rails and cross members.

Many carmakers use laser welded blanks to combine these press-hardened steels in different grades and thicknesses so they can put exactly the right steel in exactly the right place. In this way, Usibor® gives the part its strength, while more pliable Ductibor® controls its crash behaviour. The result is light-weight parts that fully protect the vehicle’s occupants.

Let me just add that on top of hot stamping, the new AHSS for cold stamping, our Fortiform® range, brings an outstanding combination of high strength and good formability. These products have massive potential to substitute for the conventional AHSS currently used with weight savings of 10 to 20 percent.

For OEMs what are the key advantages of steel?Jean-Luc Thirion: Steel is one of the only materials which can meet the major challenges automakers face, including lightweighting, safety, cost, recyclability and, in a world increasingly concerned with carbon footprints, lower total emissions over a car’s life cycle.

If we want to know how green a vehicle really is, we must measure its emissions over its entire life cycle. The production phase of a vehicle comprises nearly 20 percent of the total greenhouse gas emissions for internal combustion engines. That figure more than doubles to 47 percent for battery electric vehicles. If carmakers don’t consider production phase emissions when evaluating environmental impact, they may choose lightweighting materials that emit more CO2 during production than they save during the vehicle’s drive phase.

Cost is also a key advantage for OEMs, both in terms of the price of the material itself, and of incorporating it into their vehicle manufacturing processes. Our steels can reduce cost as well as weight, but where there are cost increases, they are below $2 per kilogram of weight saved. By contrast, aluminum can cost between $3-$18 per kg saved, depending on the application.

Detailed cost analysis based

on a production run of 300,000 vehicles per year and amortization over five years show the S-in motion® mid-size sedan produced with currently available grades costs only seven percent more – less than $1.20 per kilogram of weight saved – than the baseline version.

Quite simply, steel is the obvious choice because it offers the best value. I don’t see that changing substantially because the potential for innovation of our material is still huge.

There is a whole other generation of steel grades on the horizon, both for hot stamping and cold stamping, that will offer even more advanced strength and enhanced formability, but to make it, we must be able to cast steel with ever more complex chemistry and additional alloying elements. That’s what we are working on now.

How will the projected increase in the manufacture of EVs and fuel cell vehicles affect our business? Jean-Luc Thirion: ArcelorMittal is well placed to take advantage of a potential proliferation of electrically powered vehicles for two reasons. First, more steel can go into making electric cars than conventional ones because of their electric motors and the need to protect their batteries, so there is an obvious gain from a volume point of view. The second reason, rather ironically, is that this extra steel also creates an opportunity for us to do more of the lightweighting we’ve become so good at.

For example, in studying the potential impact of S-in motion® for the PHEV, we found that despite an increase of nearly 420 pounds in the weight of the powertrain and the additional protection needed for the battery, we could achieve a body in white (BIW) that weighed 584 pounds. That’s just 22 pounds more than the BIW of the internal combus-tion-powered vehicle which we optimized in our S-in motion® C segment vehicle study.

Our global R&D teams have also been developing a range of steels for electrical mobility called iCARe®. We launched the second generation of these products this summer.

What advantages does iCARe® bring to the electric vehicle market?Jean-Luc Thirion: The iCARe® portfolio reflects not only the global shift towards more energy-efficient vehicle technologies to support a low-carbon world, it demon-strates the sustainable advan-tages available through product innovation.

These electrical steels help carmakers deliver lower CO2 equivalent emissions and reduce the fuel consumption of hybrid vehicles. They also help automotive designers increase the range of pure electric vehicles and lower the total cost of electrifica-tion. iCARe® steels also deliver increased power density from electric motors, helping to reduce the size and weight of low-emis-sion vehicles through enhanced energy efficiency.

Automakers steel themselves for road aheadJean-Luc Thirion, head of global R&D for automotive at ArcelorMittal, explains how steel is helping automakers gear up for the car of the future.

As a business and industry, we have weathered difficult economic times and faced significant challenges since 2008. The year 2017 marks yet another period of transformational change in our business. And while we were tested in many ways, I want to use this opportunity to reflect on our performance of the past year, and look ahead to 2018 with a sense of optimism and resolve.

This time of year, we spend more time with our families and friends to reflect, and I encourage everyone to embrace that same spirit of reflection here at ArcelorMittal.

As I look back on 2017, I’m pleased with our efforts to improve the financial sustainability of our business. Yes, we had to make difficult decisions that involved idling or closing underutilized assets throughout our footprint. These decisions aren’t easy. But they are necessary steps building resiliency for our business and our stakeholders. Our third quarter had a rough start operationally; prices are up from 2016 levels, but so are input costs. To strengthen our sustainability, we need to take advantage of the current pricing environment.

As you know, we are addressing our lackluster delivery performance head on. To improve our delivery performance, we

need to precisely understand our customers’ requirements to succeed in their marketplace. One of our customers, Kloeckner Metals, spent time with us to explain what they are seeking in a “go to” supplier, which is the way we’d like all customers to think of us. I encourage you to watch the video associated with this article to understand how one of our important customers looks at suppliers and how that customer describes a supplier of choice. Think about your job and department in our company. How can you contribute to our company being a supplier of choice?

In the months ahead, we will begin to transition our delivery metrics from an internally focused process to one that truly reflects how the customer views our performance. The new measures will include how the customer determines on-time and late orders. Our measurement date (ready on the ship floor, shipped or delivered) will be individually determined by each of our customers. We will also measure how well we set-up (did we allow ourselves enough time to produce) the order and how well we executed (did we process according to our manufacturing lead times) the order. Additionally, we will have tools at our disposal to understand the status of an order in our process. Reliably perform-ing to the measurement date will be the key to our success.

Delivery performance improvement involves nearly every department and every facility in the United States. Our successful implementation of this critical undertaking will help to create meaningful improvement in customer confidence, build transparency and trust throughout our supply chain and ultimately, increased volume opportunities for our company.

While we are striving for resiliency in our business, others in our country seek resilience of a different kind. We have experi-enced some of the largest natural disasters in recent history this fall, with hurricanes in Florida, Texas and the Caribbean and earth-quakes in Mexico. Especially as we head into the holiday season, it’s been gratifying to see our employees give back or lend a hand to disaster relief efforts.

Quickly, the USW launched donation drives at many of our sites. Our corporate responsibility team lowered the threshold on Give Boldly donations to ensure all disaster relief donations could be matched by the company.

We anticipate donating approximately $2 million dollars to nonprofit organizations through Give Boldly this year, thanks to employee contributions and the ArcelorMittal match. If year-end

giving is in your plan, please remember to request a match, which makes your individual donations even more impactful.

In closing, I thank each of you for your contributions this past year to our company and those we impact. I wish you a safe, happy and healthy holiday season, and look forward to further developing resilience for our business, employees, customers and communities in 2018.

Developing resiliency

Brian Wagner

This year, we’ve been training ArcelorMittal supervisors and managers about how to conduct a productive incident investigation.

The first step in any incident investigation is to respond to the needs of anyone injured in an incident. Then, we need to gather evidence as quickly as possible because that information is critical as we continue the investigation process. Our goal is to have a root cause analysis that is robust and can guide us as we generate

corrective and preventive actions that will help us avoid a similar occurrence in the future.

We know that we need to have a better system for gathering evidence and better documentation of the incident as soon as possible after it occurs. In some cases, these incidents happen at times when there are very few people on duty – overnights and weekends, for example. That’s why this training needs to be shared with the people who will be there during those off-hours.

It’s important that we don’t make any assumptions as we

begin an investigation. We must look at each incident as if was the first time anything like it had happened. We should keep an open mind and not make assumptions.

We aren’t born knowing how to do this. And so we need to educate and train people to properly gather evidence, both to use in the investigation of the current incident, but also to use in future investigations.

Ultimately, this program will be successful if we can eliminate, reduce or prevent similar incidents. We can always learn from any incident, whether

it involves a personal injury or near miss or equipment damage. Our goal is to investigate those to get to the root cause and put corrective and preventive measures in place. If we see a reduction over time in similar type incidents, then we know that this training is successful.

“Digitization is allowing us to bring dramatic change in efficiency of execution of functions that did not exist in the past. It is allowing people to realize things that were their dreams and their aspirations, but they couldn’t because there was no computing technology and the ability to process enormous amount of data and techniques to analyze this data. These issues have been solved in the last few years.

The next question is how do you capitalize on this enor-mous wealth of data? Our sensors generate terabytes worth of data. We only look at kilobytes and the rest is wasted. Now we have the capacity to do this analysis and predict in real terms what the future will look like. It may not be the very long-term prediction, but sufficiently ahead of time to improve dramatically our maintenance practices and improve the quality of the material we produce.

One of the things that will happen, for example – digitization will allow us to move into the realm of predictive quality. We will be able to know the quality of the product before the product is made. That will have an enormous impact on our business.

Once you know what is the particular defect and where it’s going to be, first of all, you can react in terms of fixing the problem. But if you cannot fix the problem fast enough, you can reflow the material. You can move it to the different applica-tion where this particular defect

is not a defect. And you will sell it as a prime. The yields will improve enormously.

It is not that we didn’t know what we need to get it done, but we didn’t have the tools. Today we do have tools. We have sensors and we know how to ‘talk to them.’ And we now have models and techniques which allow us to take this diverse information from multiple sources – spread-sheets, visuals, pictures – bring it all together and run massive multiple correlation to identify the sources of the problem.

Another amazing thing is that the quality of our work in this field – techno economics, logistics – is that we are developing the models and solutions that not only can compete with the best available in the world, but in a number of cases, outperform them.

Digitization is going to change the nature of the business, not only manufacturing business, but also business in general. For example, the sales organization will know precisely what is coming, what type of defect is coming, and the whole auctioning process, the whole concept of dynamic pricing will be tremendously augmented.”

As a major supplier to automotive markets, ArcelorMittal is closely involved with the development of new vehicle models. But did you know that this process begins as early as five years before they go on sale?

ArcelorMittal Research and Development engineers begin working with OEMs early in the vehicle development process to ensure that the right type of steel is used for every part. As U.S. automakers strive to improve fuel economy to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025, they consider all options to reduce vehicle weight, including replacing steel with aluminum in the body.

ArcelorMittal firmly believes that the new developments in steel continue to make it the best material of choice for the automotive industry. Furthermore, several Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) studies conducted by independent experts demonstrate steel to be the “green” solution compared to alternate materials, such as aluminum, magnesium and carbon fiber. These early discussions between carmakers and ArcelorMittal consider using stronger steels, called advanced high-strength and ultra high-strength steels, to make vehicles lighter and safer and provide the most cost-effective means to improve fuel economy.

ArcelorMittal has made a significant investment effort that demonstrates steel’s value to the automotive industry.The company

has more than a dozen in-house engineered automotive steel solutions called S-in motion®. These represent ArcelorMittal’s vision of a light-weight, cost-effective design that meet the increasing requirements of function and safety. Launched in 2010 and continuously evolving, today’s S-in motion® portfolio has expanded to offer light-weighting solutions for cars, SUVs, trucks, including electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as various vehicle subsystems. These solutions demonstrate a body weight savings potential of around 25 percent over current models, more than enough to help OEMs achieve their fuel economy targets.

“To promote the S-in motion® solutions in new vehicles, we offer co-engineering with the OEM teams by performing vehicle level simulations to virtually demonstrate the design concept with the new material grades,” said Ram Iyer, manager, co-engineering, Automotive Product Applications, a division of Global Research and Development.

ArcelorMittal engineers work alongside OEM design teams on new vehicle development, performing studies and evaluations of various design concepts that help achieve vehicle performance and weight targets. This enables ArcelorMittal to recognize technical needs of the programs and quickly provide information and cost-effective steel solutions.

Co-engineering would be ineffective without a strong focus on developing new steel grades and detailed testing to understand

and quantify their behavior. In North America, ArcelorMittal’s Research and Development Centers in East Chicago, Indiana, and Hamilton, Ontario, are key contributors to this effort. The East Chicago lab just celebrated its 50th anniversary of perform-ing world-class research and providing high-quality support to the automotive industry. (See related articles on pages 6-7).

Key accomplishments of the global research teams include development of the patented – Usibor® press hardenable steel (PHS) grades. The high strength of these steels achieved after hot stamping make them suitable for the safety cage around the occupants. Since the manufactur-ing processes for these PHS products are more complex than for conventional grades, ArcelorMittal develops best practices to produce high quality parts and communicates this to the automotive OEM and

supplier communities.ArcelorMittal is also a global

leader in developing parts with Laser Welded Blanks (LWB). This technology, used in combination with PHS steel grades, offers significant performance improve-ments and cost savings and has led to a revolutionary body side structure redesign that utilizes a hot-stamped door ring. ArcelorMittal has been working with various OEMs to implement this concept in current and future vehicles.

ArcelorMittal’s support to the automotive industry has broadened significantly over the past 10 years and established us as a high- caliber solutions provider. The Automotive Products Applications and Research teams recognize the importance and significance of this achievement and strive to improve upon it year after year.

A new cooling technology for plates is now in use at ArcelorMittal Burns Harbor. ACCtec (accelerated cooling technology) provides enhanced flatness control and a superior micro-structure. It’s a critical breakthrough for the line pipe and offshore oil markets.

The Burns Harbor 160" plate mill was selected to pilot test the new equipment and associated software in 2013. With the successful implementation of this new technology, other plate facilities will also be looking to receive the ACCtec technology.

ArcelorMittal Global Research and Development developed the system.

“ArcelorMittal Burns Harbor plate is very pleased to have been selected to install and test this state-of-the-art technology developed by our own Global R&D Group,” said John Battisti, chief operating officer, ArcelorMittal USA Plate. “What’s most exciting about the project is that it will allow us to further develop our customer base in the growing energy market here in the U.S. and Canada.”

The ACCtec process involves producing mechanical properties that are achieved by means of thermomechanical control processing (TMCP), that cannot be achieved through plate rolling alone. In addition to their excellent toughness, the weldability of TMCP steels is much better than that of conventional controlled steels. Line pipe plates, offshore plates and high-strength, fine-grained structural steels are thermomechanically rolled and accelerated-cooled.

“Locally, we first became aware of the concept in 2012. R&D was looking for a plate facility that could complete the proof of technology testing for this innovative process,” noted Battisti. “Burns Harbor was selected because it already had an accelerated cooling

system, but the equipment and technology was very outdated.”

Phase one of the project began in 2014, with the removal of the old accelerated cooling system. It was replaced with a single ACCtec module which includes four headers. These headers allow for achieving high cooling rates for X70/80 plate material up to 1.25 inches. The headers also ensure fast and homogeneous cooling to maintain critical flatness and allows for future direct quench capability.

A second ACCtec module and four soft cooling modules are part of the phase two installation, which began in 2015 and was completed in April 2017. Each soft cooling module has five top and bottom headers to maintain uniform heat conduction throughout the process, while the cooling length directly influences the cooling speed.

The cooling process provides a more consistent, uniform cooling in the thickness of the product with enhanced plate flatness, even when running lighter gauge material. The added soft cooling technology will allow Burns Harbor to make plate products up to four inches thick.

Due to the increased strength level of this niche plate product, other applications for ACCtec, in addition to line pipe and offshore structures, include: shipbuilding, bridges, buildings, storage tanks and earth-moving equipment.

Other benefits of ACCtec include enhanced quality and cost savings.

Because of the accelerated soft cooling feature, the lead-time will allow for customers to receive their steel more quickly – about two weeks sooner on specific higher strength bridge and shipbuilding specifications over 1.25” – due to less time needed for processing vs. the prior quench and tempering process route.

ArcelorMittal also has filed an international patent application to protect this innovative technology.

“This $8.1 million ACCtec project is a positive investment for our plate business in general,” added Battisti. “Currently, we are the only domestic plate supplier to be able to offer our customers this special plate product. ACCtec highlights the technical capabili-ties engineered by our talented Global R&D group. Because it is our own technology, as time goes on, this will also allow us to make future enhancements and modifications to the process.

“We are extremely excited about the possibilities for this innovative technology that provides new market opportuni-ties, which bodes well for the long-term viability of Burns Harbor plate.”

ArcelorMittal Minorca has three major projects underway that involve the use of synthetic oils and are providing significant benefits.

A ball mill is one of the top five energy-using pieces of equipment at Minorca. Earlier this year, we had a vendor test our energy use. We ran with conventional oil, then ran using synthetic oil. We saw about a one percent energy savings using synthetic oil. That may not sound like much, but when you calculate the energy savings, it’s about $70,000 a year.

The second has to do with oil reprocessing in our crusher circuit. The lubricating oils in this process become dirty and contaminated

with water, but the oil doesn’t actually wear out. The contami-nated oil must be drained, properly disposed of, then replaced. Each time that happens, we buy several hundred gallons of oil at $5 a gallon. With reprocessing, both synthetic and conventional, we can reuse the oil and get the full value from the oils wear life. That’s a 30 percent savings and, since we’re not wasting useable oil life, it’s a huge reduction in our environmental footprint.

We’re also looking at the potential value in converting from conventional oil to synthetic oil to run our heavy haul fleet. This extends drain intervals and we save a measureable amount of energy, roughly 1-2 percent with each gear reduction. With a large enough fleet, that could add up to millions of dollars in savings

over the life of the equipment. Overall, these projects

are very promising and we will continue to test the value of using synthetic oil in our processes.

Dan Hamilton is a reliability engineer at ArcelorMittal Minorca.

Synthetic oil projects prove valuable at MinorcaThey create energy savings, improve our environmental footprint and save money.

ArcelorMittal Minorca is experimenting with synthetic oils to run the ball mill and the savings are averaging about $70,000 a year.

John Battisti, chief operating officer, ArcelorMittal USA Plate, says with the installation of the ACCtec system at Burns Harbor, we will be able to expand our position in the energy market, particularly in the line pipe and offshore rig sectors. Shown are the two high cooling modules and the four soft cooling modules of the ACCtec project.

These are a few examples of vehicle body structures studied closely by ArcelorMittal for implementation of our new steel grades.

Action 2020, ArcelorMittal’s five-year strategic plan, continues to progress at ArcelorMittal Burns Harbor.

John Mengel, vice president and general manager, ArcelorMittal Burns Harbor, points to several initiatives either recently completed or that are ongoing, aimed at supporting ArcelorMittal’s and Burns Harbor’s success moving forward.

“Action 2020 is a very focused investment strategy to make ArcelorMittal sustainable,” said Mengel. “Here in the U.S., sustainability comes from having the right number of facilities to run at high levels of utilization to service the broad markets we serve commercially. Burns Harbor is a major contributor to this effort.”

Controlling costsOne underlying focus on the 2020 strategy at Burns Harbor includes continuing to closely monitor the facility’s hot band cost. The goal is to be well under the CRU (Commodities Research Unit) hot band market price benchmark. In this regard, Burns Harbor is doing well, according to Mengel.

“This will be an ongoing process,” noted Mengel. “We need to continue to chip away at all costs. It’s very much a balancing act between what we spend and the performance of our plant. That performance is related to productivity – a focus on rejections, yield and utility consumption (power or natural gas). All of these pieces play into that hot band cost, along with spending.”

Reliable power supply Another major effort underway at Burns Harbor includes the extensive power station rehabilitation project. At a cost of about $170 million, the project began in 2016 and is expected to be completed in five years. The project provides reliability to the Burns Harbor operations, as well as an annual savings of $60 million upon completion. It also will provide Burns Harbor with the ability to generate 75 percent of the plant’s power requirements.

“A lot of good work has already been done and we are seeing marginal improvement in generation. As we move forward, we’re going to continue to see improvements as the power station gains ground,” said Mengel.

This energy management facility is designed to use by-product fuels from the coke ovens and blast furnaces as primary fuels for producing steam. The generated steam is then used directly throughout the operation, as the energy to produce wind for the blast furnaces, generate power for electrical requirements, drive lake water pumps, exhaust coke oven gas and generate vacuum at the degasser.

Built in 1969, the power station had reached the end of its useful life. Replacement or rehabilitation of equipment was necessary to ensure the future reliability of steam production. The construction of a modern reverse osmosis water plant is now complete, along with the rehabilitation of two boilers and one generator. Work on four remaining boilers, three turbo blowers, two turbo generators, and ancillary equipment continues.

Caster mold upgradeEarlier this year, Burns Harbor completed a mold change on its No. 2 continuous casting machine. The project benefits include enhanced employee safety, productivity and quality products for Burns Harbor customers.

“The caster mold change is running well and we are starting to learn our way into some of the rapid width changes now possible from the project,” noted Mengel.

“The system is working well and eventually, we expect the rapid width change capability of those molds will help us eliminate a turnaround and improve steelmaking productivity. The broad spectrum of oscillator setups will also improve quality.”

Walking beam furnaces plannedPhase one planning for new 80” hot mill walking beam furnaces continues at Burns Harbor. This phase includes detailed furnace, engineering and site engineering in preparation for construction and installation of the new furnaces. Mengel said the facility expects to submit a plan for the purchase and installation of the $142 million project in the first half of 2018, equipment fabrication in 2018, with construction to begin in early 2019 and completion in 2020.

“This project will dramatically reduce the incidents of lamination rejects. We will also become less furnace restricted and increase coil pounds per inch of width (PIW) capabilities,” said Mengel. “It should reduce fuel consump-tion and eliminate the need for a one-time rebuild on the current furnaces. We expect to get higher productivity out of the unit as well.”

Advanced high-strength steelsThe Burns Harbor continuous heat treat line (CHTL) in the finishing department continues its push on creating higher strength steels.

“The CHTL runs quite nicely. About 80 percent of the product off that line is for AHSS,” noted Mengel. “I think customers enjoy the product that comes off that line. We have extended its leveling range and added another roll set in the pre-flex unit of the leveler to improve flatness over a wider range of strength and thicknesses.”

Accelerated cooling for plateAnother exciting development for Burns Harbor plate includes the installation of new accelerated mill. (See related article on page 4). ACCtec (accelerated cooling technology) provides enhanced flatness control and a superior micro-structure for plate products. This technology is critical particularly for products for the line pipe, offshore markets and high-strength structural applications. ArcelorMittal Burns Harbor will be the only domestic plate supplier with this capability.

Removal of the old acceler-ated cooling system began in 2015 and installation of the new ACCtec technology was com-pleted in April. Trial tests on ACCtec plate product continue.

“This technology moves Burns Harbor plate up a notch in the hierarchy of plate mills across the world. The 160" plate mill will be capable of product that is currently not available in the U.S.,” noted Mengel. “Today, material comes from Japan and Germany that is used for some of these applications. It actually provides us the opportunity to take back products that have been imported for a long time.”

Mengel said Burns Harbor is on plan to complete all goals set forth regarding Action 2020.

“Overall, we are progressing as we had envisioned for Action 2020 at Burns Harbor,” added Mengel. “I think our workforce understands the competitive environment we’re in and they are working to make this plant successful. We must keep trying to push to get more out of this plant. The single easiest way to reduce our cost is through yield and productivity. We have many opportunities to do that in every operation.”

As part of the Burns Harbor power station rehabilitation project and a major contributor to Action 2020, a new reverse osmosis water deaerator storage tank and support systems have been installed in the reverse osmosis plant at the power station. This new equipment will supply the steel producing department process equipment with high quality reverse osmosis feedwater.

Adding to Burns Harbor’s Action 2020 efforts were the new caster molds installed on stands at No. 2 continuous caster in April.

The new outlet conveyor on No. 6 Furnace at Shelby was a 100 percent in-house project.

Cory Myers

A newly designed conveyor has been installed at the outlet of No. 6 furnace at ArcelorMittal Shelby. It was a 100 percent in-house project, from design to build to installation. Designed by employee Steve Vogt, the first of four units was built and assembled in the Plant 1 weld shop. This is where adjustments were made with cooperation between engineering, welders, and millwrights.

The unique part of this project is the use of four airbags (one per unit) to lift the table above the rolls and discharge the tubes into the outlet buck. The bags replaced the screw jacks that are unreliable, expensive and troublesome to maintain. There are also more rake off chains on the new table to handle more diverse lengths of tubes. The air-operated squaring plate allows a hands-off way to even up loads before they go to the outlet buck.

The new table also has splash pans to collect cooling water and send it back to the pit

for re-circulation, to keep the mechanical parts dry. The table has extensive guarding to keep moving parts under cover. The project installation took about a week and full production was maintained, for the most part. Steve said it was truly a group effort, which he believed turned out very well.

Happy 50th anniversary! Getting to know R&D

Steel for the future:50 years of discovery at Global Research and Development, East Chicago

Global Research and Development in East Chicago ended a summer-long series of celebrations in September with a private party attended by guests from as far away as France.

Celebrating began earlier this summer with an open house held for employees at nearby mills and a picnic for Global Research and Development employees, retirees and their families.

“Our main goal in all the events we planned was to give R&D employees an opportunity to showcase the Center as well as the contributions they’re making to the organization,” said David White, director of process research, Global R&D and head of the event planning committee. “What we do not only changes the steel industry, but also the world. I think we achieved our goal.”

Guests at the private party

included elected officials, business and community leaders, education and nonprofit partners, local and national media outlets, and the ArcelorMittal leadership representing USA and global operations.

ArcelorMittal USA CEO John Brett said,” We rely on innovation to propel us forward, to maintain our competitive advantage, and to secure our future as an employer of choice

and go-to steel solutions provider. I’m fortunate to see innovation at work every day at ArcelorMittal USA. And it starts right here at Global Research and Development.”

“It’s the hearts and minds of the people who work here every day that make it possible,” Brett added. “Their work takes us beyond today and prepares us for the challenges and opportu-nities ahead. And I thank each of you for your efforts.”

The afternoon began with an overview of Global Research and Development, presented by Mark Atkinson, senior director East Chicago center, Global Research and Development. Main research areas – process research, automotive product research, and applications and steel solutions and the role each plays in our company’s sustain-ability – were described.

A history video followed, telling the story of passionate employees and their significant contributions to the industry.

Product solution vignettes dotted the hallways and conference rooms, and content experts were on hand to answer questions and engage onlookers in conversation.

Guests were treated to a behind-the-scenes tour of some of the 25 different laboratories at the East Chicago center. Stops

included the S-in motion display, ArcelorMittal’s suite of solutions for automotive customers. A visit to the corrosion lab showed scientists purposely corroding steel samples, so they can learn to make more resistant steel grades. And, in the dent lab, guests saw how much pressure is necessary to cause a visual dent in a car.

“Like so much that goes on in our local steel production facilities the work and innovation that occurs at the Arcelor Mittal Research and Development Center has vast benefits not only to our community but to the world. The cutting-edge technology developed at the facility protects lives, improves the environment and lowers the cost of thousands of products made with steel,” said guest Dewey Pearman, Executive Director of the Construction Advancement Foundation.

An employee picnic was held early this summer. Festivities included laboratory tours, live music, an ice cream truck, BBQ, face painting and games like the water balloon toss.

Children were encouraged to use their design skills at the Lego® table. Pictured here is the son of human resource manager Deanna Blink with his invention.

Mark Atkinson introduces Global Research and Development in his opening remarks to guests. The East Chicago center is one of 12 research sites across the globe which employs 200 representing 20 nationalities and multiple generations.

Hot metal to cool cars tour

A picture is worth a thousand words

The sustainability connection

The event attracted national media outlets, most dedicated to covering the steelmaking and automotive industries. To help the journalists make the connection between innovation and end use, a special tour was planned.

It began at Indiana Harbor,

where they saw steelmaking and a hot strip mill. Then, on to the laboratories at Global Research and Development. The tour culminated with a visit to Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Subaru’s only production facility outside of Japan.

“Our intent was to

showcase both process and product innovation at the Global Research and Development laboratories, then allow the media to witness the steelmak-ing process firsthand – from liquid steel to finished coils – then follow our products through to the customer,”

said Bill Steers, general manager communications, ArcelorMittal Americas.

“ArcelorMittal Indiana Harbor, along with other facilities in the USA, provide a variety of steels used in Subaru’s Legacy, Outback and Impreza vehicles,” he added.

A half century of innovation was commemorated with the unveiling of a new South Shore Line poster. The painting of the East Chicago campus by Northwest Indiana artist Mitch Markovitz depicts the beautiful landscape and buildings designed by famed Chicago architecture firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill.

Multiple bright colors remind us of passionate employees representing more than 20 nationalities.

“Congratulations to ArcelorMittal; we are happy to be a part of this milestone by adding a South Shore Line poster to the iconic series. Through the support of local companies like ArcelorMittal, we can keep the poster series alive and tell the

stories of the South Shore,” said Speros A. Batistatos, FCDME President/CEO, South Shore Convention and Visitors Authority.

Steel for the Future is the fourth poster in the series commissioned by ArcelorMittal. Others include Strength and Beauty, Steel for the World and ArcelorMittal Burns Harbor.

In closing remarks to all the guests celebrating Global Research and Development’s 50th anniversary, John Brett said, “I thank all of you for your support of our efforts. We look forward to another 50 years of creating a product that the world depends on, and finding ways to transform ourselves, our business and our communities for a better tomorrow.”

Throughout the afternoon, guests heard about the important role innovation plays in creating new steel products and solutions for our customers, including and especially automotive.

To amplify the message, Zoe Lipman, director of the vehicles and advanced transpor-tation program at the BlueGreen Alliance, spoke to guests about the recently published “Supplying Ingenuity II” report published by the BlueGreen Alliance. ArcelorMittal is specifically mentioned throughout the report as a key supplier of lightweight materials.

“The innovative vehicles being built under today’s world-leading fuel economy

and vehicle greenhouse gas standards are saving consumers billions annually at the pump, enhancing America’s energy security, and combating climate change and, at the same time, the industry has brought back hundreds of thousands of direct jobs that are anchoring a broader manufacturing recovery,” she said. “None of this would have been possible without the innovation happening throughout the supply chain.”

As one example shared by ArcelorMittal USA CEO John Brett, ArcelorMittal has launched six new automotive steel grades and has more under development to help automakers meet fuel-efficiency standards.

Dan Markham, senior editor of Metal Center News, was excited to see a ladle pour at Indiana Harbor’s No. 3 steel producing.

Northwest Indiana artist, Mitch Markovitz, signs the newly unveiled South Shore Line poster for ArcelorMittal employee Ken Walker.

Famed architectural firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill designed the East Chicago center buildings. The design won the American Institute of Architecture award in 1969. Representatives from the firm attended the event and brought historical photos for guests to enjoy.

Fifteen media outlets attended the anniversary celebration. A multi-stop tour helped them make the connection between innovation and end use. Stops included Indiana Harbor’s No. 3 steel producing and 80" hot strip mill, Global Research and Development laboratories and the Subaru plant in nearby Lafayette, Indiana.

Challenger Learning Center partnership inspires STEM learning through space exploration

Students from School City of Hammond get hands-on science experience in the mission control room at the Challenger Learning Center.

First Robotics team club members Devin and Joey unpacked the new piece of equipment and had it working in no time.

Students at Monessen Middle School designed foamboard airplanes as part of a STEM activity made possible by grants from ArcelorMittal.

Even before they’re in high school, students who visit the Challenger Learning Center (CLC) gain experience as engineers, scientists, mission control specialists and even astronauts.

Perhaps none of them will ever fly a spacecraft to the moon, like they prepare to do through simulated flights at the center. But the lessons learned from the experience often launch them on to any number of careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

“It’s not just about being an astronaut,” said Rebecca Manis, director of the center in Hammond, Indiana. “It’s about being part of a team that gets the job done. It’s about the science and engineering and math and all the research and calculations that go into making these missions happen. It’s not just about the space part of it.”

CLC is an ArcelorMittal strategic community partner, which utilizes space mission simulations to provide students in Northwest Indiana with inspirational learning opportuni-ties focused on STEM.

Of course, space is cool. A simulated voyage to Mars or a rendezvous with a comet hurtling through the solar system is a fun way for kids to get excited about STEM.

Years later, many students who visited the Challenger Learning Center on a school field trip point to their experience as the reason they’re pursuing careers in aerospace engineering, robotics, computer science and other STEM fields. Because of that, corporate partners with an interest in developing future STEM professionals help fund the nonprofit center.

“STEM education is the cornerstone of our giving priorities,” said Beth Spurgeon, USA corporate responsibility manager, ArcelorMittal. “The future of our company really depends on a strong pipeline

of STEM professionals. We need these STEM workers to fill an ever-increasing number of open positions that we will continue to see as the older generation retires.”

The U.S. economy needs one million more STEM professionals over the next decade than the country is expected to produce, according to the federal govern-ment. Building a pipeline of STEM-skilled workers to fill those jobs is one of ArcelorMittal’s 10 sustainable development outcomes. That’s why we gave $3 million to STEM programs across the country in 2016.

“We’re on the forefront of innovation in advanced manufac-turing and we really need dynamic bright minds to lead the company into the future,” Spurgeon said.

Donors like ArcelorMittal are making STEM education more accessible to kids in northern Indiana and beyond.

Members of the Michigan City Safe Harbor RoboBlitz Robotics Team recently received a new Carvey CNC machine thanks to a grant made possible by ArcelorMittal Burns Harbor. A CNC machine uses computer technology to control tools.

This year’s team has developed an innovative program: “Youth Empowerment through STEM (YES): STEM is not a Foreign Language.” The program provides STEM immersion activities to the Michigan City high school students through the develop-ment of a digital manufacturing lab that includes a table-top Glowforge laser cutter, a tabletop X-Carve CNC machine and the enclosed Carvey CNC machine.

With the new equipment, the Michigan City team’s lab will be one of the few school-based facilities in Indiana with laser-cutter and CNC machines

available to third grade through 12th grade students. While at the digital manufacturing lab, students will: learn the vocabulary of digital manufacturing; design objects; and then program a laser-cutter or CNC machine to make their design. These exposures to STEM principles that digital manufacturing relies upon will help students become fluent in STEM and manufacturing.

The team will also focus on building youth STEM vocabu-laries and using science experi-ment kits. High School robotics students will research the Indiana science curriculum for grades three through six and identify three key science concepts that students are required to master for each of four specified grade levels. After identifying the science concepts, the high school students will research best practices and age-appropriate hands-on experiments that will help students master the chosen science concepts. Once the initial kits are completed, the high

school students will test the kits by performing the experiments with Safe Harbor afterschool

students. After refinements, the kits will be delivered to and made available to regular school day

science teachers throughout the Michigan City area to help students increase their

STEM vocabularies.

Carnegie Science Center’s Fab Lab rolled into Monessen, Pennsylvania, this fall. The mobile Fab Lab is a digital fabrication laboratory for innovation and invention. It gives students a place to play, create, learn, mentor and invent. ArcelorMittal supports the Fab Lab through its new partnership with Carnegie Science Center.

“This project is important to us because we need employ-ees in the future who are versed in science, technology, engineer-ing and math,” explained Randi Quattro, human resources manager at ArcelorMittal Monessen.

At Monessen, students designed foamboard airplanes through a specific computer program. Then, they saw those designs come to life on a 3D printer.

Sixth-grader Sydney Brown wants to be an architect when

she grows up and was fascinated by the process.

“We used an app on the computer, and we had to create the different shapes – the wings, the body of it, and the back wings,” she said. “The laser printer has a flame, and it’s very thin, and it just cut right through (the foamboard).”

That hands-on experience is important, as one way to engage students in STEM fields.

“These types of activities help them realize that this could be a career and that they could be successful doing something that they love,” said Roberta Bergstedt, school director for the Monessen City School District. “Too often they think (science) is overwhelming or confusing. But they’re finding out today that science is fun. It’s really pretty cool.”

“This program gives students a chance to actually start an engineering project from scratch,” added Dr. Leanne Spazak, superintendent of the Monessen schools. “It’s the new

wave of the future.”The Fab Lab event was part

of ArcelorMittal’s larger partner-ship with the school, where the company is also supporting the implementation of the Project Lead The Way STEM curriculum. The curriculum is designed to spark the interest of middle school students in science and engineering. ArcelorMittal continues to invest in programs like this and many others around the world that emphasize STEM education. We hope to develop, over time, a talented pipeline of scientists and engineers who will work in our business and use our products long into the future.

An onslaught of hurricanes this year has caused billions of damage in the United States, Puerto Rico and many other countries. ArcelorMittal employees responded through a special Give Boldly program.

Minorca’s Jaime Johnson volunteers with a program that brings hands-on science and engineering experiments to area fifth and sixth graders.

Monessen’s Russell Peck and his therapy dog, Benji, regularly visit patients at local medical facilities. And Benji isn’t shy about handing out kisses.

Randi Quattro

Russell Peck is a longtime employee at the Monessen Coke Plant. When the by-product supervisor isn’t on the job, he’s spending time in local aging and medical facilities with Benji the therapy dog.

Benji is Russell’s six-year-old Labrador Retriever and certified therapy dog, registered with Therapy Dogs International. Benji had to pass the AKC Good Citizens basic obedience and Therapy Dogs International tests. The TDI test consists of being around walkers, crutches, wheelchairs, loud noises, small children and other medical equipment.

Benji passed the TDI test in 2014. In September of this year, he made his 350th visit. Under TDI’s award program, with 350 visits, Benji went from a

“Remarkable Volunteer” with 250 visits to an “Exceptional Volunteer”. He visits the local hospital, two personal care homes, a special needs class at the local high school, and Life’s Work, an organization for the disabled.

“We just walk around and visit the patients,” explained Russell. “A lot of times I’ll get stopped in the hall, and somebody will ask me to come see a family member. Then, we go to the therapy rooms and visit people who have had knee replacements, shoulder surgeries and other procedures.”

Many patients in care homes or hospitals – who have had pets and miss them – find Benji very comforting. There are doctors at the hospital who look forward to his visits as well.

And Benji has name recognition. Benji gives out name cards with his picture

on them that say, “I hope my visit has brightened your day.”

“As soon as we walk in, the guards say ‘Benji’s here!’, Russell said. “You never hear my name.”

But Benji and Russell both get something special from their visits.

“He gets treats; I get satisfaction,” Russell said. “I’m helping people and making people feel better throughout the day.”

You can follow Benji on Facebook at “Benji the Therapy Dog.” He has more than 2,400 followers.

If you are interested in the therapy dog program, you can visit the Therapy Dogs International website at www.tdi-dog.org or call by phone at (973) 252-9800.

Jaime Johnson, manager, environmental at ArcelorMittal Minorca, is not your typical volunteer. In her spare time, she not only gives back to her community, but is an example of how ArcelorMittal employees can make a true difference for the next generation of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) leaders.

In 2014, she learned about the Engineering, Cool! program that local engineers were running in the nearby town of Hibbing, Minnesota. The after-school program is designed and taught by volunteers to fifth and sixth grade students focused on hands-on, exciting science and engineering experiments linked to local career opportunities, including mining. Impressed by the program, she worked to bring it to Virginia, Minnesota, where ArcelorMittal’s Minorca Mine is located. As a member of the facility’s Council for Stronger Communities (CSC), she advocated for the program and secured a grant from the CSC for Engineering, Cool! to be implemented at Roosevelt Elementary school.

Since that time, Jaime has lead the Engineering, Cool! program each spring at Roosevelt Elementary, with the support of local teachers and other volunteers. Annually the program receives 50 applications for its 28 spots. The program is fully funded by ArcelorMittal through the Range Engineering Council and is free for all student participants. In 2017, Engineering, Cool! covered a diverse array of STEM topics, including facilities engineering, chemistry, bridge design, geology and mining, surface water, rockets, circuits and motors, and a field trip to Laurentian Environmental Center. Of the program, Jaime stated, “The best thing about the program is that it’s hands-on. The kids are doing exciting STEM activities and you can see them learning, while also having fun. That’s the whole reason we’re doing it!”

Additional ArcelorMittal staff that provided volunteer support for the program this year included Robb Peterson, Joe Johnson, Evan Shefik, Mike Totenhagen and Dan Hamilton. Jaime has not stopped at just engaging ArcelorMittal volunteers. She has also recruited engineering students, staff from companies that work with ArcelorMittal, and other local engineers. These volunteers serve as mentors and role models for participating students. The program has also received significant support from Community Ed.

Engineering, Cool! has evolved to become part of a new nonprofit organization called the Range Engineering Council. ArcelorMittal is one of the Range Engineering Councils’ premier corporate partners, supporting programs that include Engineering, Cool!, the Iron Range STEM showcase, the Iron Range Science and Engineering Festival and Camp Invention.

When asked about her commitment to mentoring the next generation of STEM professionals, Jaime noted, “I enjoy my job. I am lucky to live in Northern Minnesota, where natural resources surround us, yet also help provide jobs for many people. I want the students here to stay engaged and understand the relationship and science behind all of it. I work in a field where I am surrounded by STEM. I found myself fostering that in my daughter as she goes through school, and wanted to continue to foster that in other students as well. I volunteer because I want to keep encouraging all kids to always ask why and how. This program allows them to do that and have fun.”

At ArcelorMittal, our thoughts are with all of those impacted by the devastation of recent hurricanes. We are especially proud of the spirit of generosity demonstrated by our employees who gave both their time and money to the relief efforts.

ArcelorMittal is committed to supporting various organiza-tions through our employee matching gifts program, Give Boldly. The program matches up to $1,500 per year per employee on charitable contributions to qualified nonprofit organizations. In 2016 through Give Boldly, employees contributed

$1.3 million, and ArcelorMittal matched $750,000 to 774 nonprofit organizations.

All donations, big and small, make a difference in an extraordinary crisis like the recent hurricanes. So, for the month of September, ArcelorMittal lowered the minimum gift eligible for matching from $50 to $25. Employee responses to this outreach were wonderful. The total of the employee donations and the ArcelorMittal match was more than $21,000 designated for the relief effort through the Give Boldly program.

Therese Vande Hey, associate general counsel at ArcelorMittal, said that she gave because “I saw the human misery

and toll unfolding as a result of these natural disasters and had to act. I am always reminded of what my family members who work in disaster relief advise – donating money to the experts and teams on the ground is the best way you can help from a distance. And with ArcelorMittal’s support, that donation went twice the distance.”

Summer Paris

A large group of Cleveland employees, members of USW Local 979, friends and family gathered at the Dave McCall Union Hall to dedicate a special memorial to those who tragically lost their lives in years past at the Cleveland facility.

The monument, made of granite mined by steelworkers from USW amalgamated Local 4, is positioned right outside the main entrance to the hall, not to missed.

This was intentional, said Dan Boone, president, Local 979. “From this day going forward, everybody who comes to this hall will see these names and remember.”

The inscription reads “In memory of all who made the ultimate sacrifice” followed by 37 names of friends and fellow coworkers lost. For Boone and many others present at the September event, the somber ceremony and the monument itself are personal. Boone spoke of knowing five of the individuals listed and said he could remember vividly the feelings of the days those friends were lost.

Tony Panza, grievance committee chairman, stated the goal of the dedication simply: “No more names on this monu-ment.” He urged the audience to pay honor beyond the monument. “Our obligation is to learn from the sacrifices they made and to go home every single day the way that we came in, so we are able to create the futures for our families that these people could not.”

Boone acknowledged that the memorial includes names of both union members

and managers, reminding the crowd that “no one is immune from the dangers of this work.”

This safety message for the current workforce was reinforced by Patrick Gallagher, sub-district

1 director. “As United Steelworkers, we strive to have good relationships with our employers, and safety is always the most important. For safety, we put away our

differences. We have to put away whatever problems and issues we have because if we don’t do it together, we will never have a safe workplace.”

Finally, Sam Moyer, grievance

committeeman, formally dedicated the memorial by ringing a bell for and reading each of the 37 names aloud. He paused for an extra second as he read the name of his own

loved one, “Arthur L. Moyer Sr.” The message of the day: let

us never forget.
