Steel alloy manufacture. Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corporation, Brackenridge, Pennsylvania. Open hearth steel is also made at this plant. Workers here shown are completing the charge to an open hearth furnace which has a capacity of about 100 tons per heat. Only small quantities of materials are charged by hand in this way. The bulk of the material is charged by the mechanism shown in pictures nos. D-995 and D-994

Steel manufacture, Allegheny-Ludlum. Back into production go these carloads of scrap metal. The melting of alloy steels for defense work requires that steel mill scrapyards such as this be constantly filled. The overhead magnet deposits the scrap in a loader which carries it to the open hearth furnace. About fifty percent of scrap steel is used in open hearth production

Steel alloy manufacture. Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corporation, Brackenridge, Pennsylvania. General view of part of the plant where scrap iron and steel are converted into many grades of steel alloys. In the foreground are carloads of finished products, while in the middle foreground can be seen piles and cars of scrap coming in to feed the huge furnaces. In the background is the power house which supplies electricity and steam to turn the wheels of this important defense industry, set in the Pennsylvania hills about thirty miles north of Pittsburgh, one of America's most important steel producing centers

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
