Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel Production

Grain-oriented electrical steel is processed through two plants at Allegheny Ludlum. The processing sequence begins at the Brackenridge Plant. In Brackenridge, grain-oriented electrical steel is melted, hot rolled to coil, and cold rolled to an intermediate thickness before shipment to the Bagdad Plant.

Each coil’s magnetic properties are measured in the final testing process. Based on these properties the coils are applied to customer specifications. Prior to shipment to the customer, the coils are sent to the packaging line to be bundled per customer requirements. The Bagdad Plant utilizes advanced packaging technology to ensure the material arrives safely to the customer while maintaining the integrity of the finished product.
