A number of maintenance outages are scheduled at U.S. steel mills in the coming months with the majority to occur in October.
Blast furnaces at AK Steel Dearborn, ArcelorMittal Cleveland and Burns Harbor, and U.S. Steel Gary Works are scheduled for maintenance in October, representing an estimated 495,050 tons of steel capacity temporarily removed from the market.
Big River Steel, Nucor, North Star Bluescope and Steel Dynamics have all scheduled maintenance for their melt/hot strip mill facilities during the remainder of the year, totaling an estimated 473,500 tons of steel capacity to come off-line during the period.
