White-hot steel pours like water from a 35-ton electric furnace, Allegheny Ludlum Steel[e] Corp., Brackenridge, Pennsylvania The finest quality steels and alloys are produced in these furnaces, which allow much greater control of temperature than other conversion furnaces. The proportion of electric furnace steel is rising steadily, even though this process is the most expensive. "The furnace is tilted for the pouring." The flying sparks indicate the fluidity of the steel

Steel alloy manufacture. Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corporation, Brackenridge, Pennsylvania. The rapid tempo of expansion necessary to meet the ever-mounting needs of the national defense production program. In the left foreground a newly completed electric melting furnace is already in operation as a construction crew puts the finishing touches on the furnaces beyond it. In the background additional plant structure is still being built. Electric melting furnaces provide faster melting of the steel bath and more precise control of temperature which is necessary in the processing of high quality alloy steels
Steel alloy manufacture. Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corporation, Brackenridge, Pennsylvania. Refined alloy steel in the electric furnace, ready for casting into ingots. The slag layer on top of the molten steel prevents the hot steel from oxidizing, thereby preserving its high quality. Steel will be drawn off through the spout at the left into ladles in the pit. This is an operation that has rarely been photographed
Steel alloy manufacture. Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corporation, Brackenridge, Pennsylvania. Thirty-five ton electric arc melting furnace in operation. These furnaces convert scrap iron and steel into high quality steel alloys. This type of furnace gives much faster heating and permits the accurate temperature control so necessary in the processing of the high quality steels. The alloying elements are being added to the bath of molten steel
