Our manufacturing operations consist of an electric arc furnace mini-mill, a rod mill, a wire mill, an industrial wire mill and three steel product fabrication facilities as outlined in our segment discussion above. The manufacturing process commences at KSW where ferrous scrap is melted in an electric arc furnace, converted into molten steel and then transferred to a ladle refining furnace where chemistries and temperatures are monitored and adjusted to specifications prior to casting. The molten steel is transferred from the ladle refining furnace into a six-strand continuous casting machine which produces five-inch square strands, referred to as billets, that are cut to predetermined lengths. These billets are then either transferred to the adjoining rod mill, shipped to Calumet for the production of steel bars or sometimes sold to third party customers. Upon entering the rod mill, the billets are brought to rolling temperature in a reheat furnace and are fed through the rolling mill, where they are rolled into either wire rod or coiled rebar in a variety of diameters, surface characteristics and specifications. After rolling, the wire rod or rebar is coiled and cooled. After cooling, the coiled wire rod or rebar passes through inspection stations for metallurgical, surface and diameter checks. Finished coils are compacted and tied. Coiled rebar is shipped to customers and wire rod is either further processed into industrial wire and fabricated wire products at KSW, shipped to EWP for the production of wire mesh and industrial wire, or shipped to third party wire rod customers.
