This steelmaking plant was originally part of the Ford Motor Company, which created an integrated manufacturing complex to produce all major vehicle components at one large facility called The Rouge. In 1989, Ford’s steel assets were divested and became known as Rouge Industries with the steel operations trading as Rouge Steel Company in Dearborn, Mich., outside of Detroit. Severstal Dearborn occupies the portion of the Rouge Complex south of the road connecting Gates 4 and 10. Severstal North America was formed when Severstal purchased the bankrupt Rouge Steel. After Severstal North America purchased other steel making facilities, this plant was renamed Severstal Dearborn. Today, Severstal Dearborn, a fully integrated plant located close to its consuming markets, remains a critical and valued supplier to the automotive industry while expanding to serve other markets as well. Recent major capital expenditures include a new, state-of-the-art blast furnace that began operation in 2007. In the past year and a half, Severstal Dearborn has completed the construction of a continuous linked pickle tandem cold mill (PLTCM) and a hot-dip galvanizing line. Per the (Detroit Free Press article ) of July 14, 2011, Severstal Dearborn will be installing a new annealing line in the "W" section of their existing cold mill. On July 21, 2014, AK Steel Holding announced that it had agreed to purchase Severstal's Dearborn steel-making assets for $700 million cash. The acquisition would also include a coke-making facility and interests in three joint ventures that process flat-rolled steel products.〔http://www.aksteel.com/news/press_release.aspx?doc_id=1062&year=2014〕 Severstal also announced at that time that it would sell a separate steel-making facility in Columbus, Mississippi to Steel Dynamics for $1.63 billion.〔http://finance.yahoo.com/news/russias-severstal-sells-u-plants-063844159.html〕 ==Facilities== * 1 blast furnace * 2 basic oxygen furnaces * 2 casters * 1 hot strip mill * 1 cold mill * 1 pickling line operational(New PLTCM), 3 being partially stripped of spare parts, demolished, and scrapped. :Both formerly operating pickling lines use Taylor-Winfield flash welders; both operating pickling lines include Wean United mill sections that are unused. * 1 tandem mill (PLTCM) * annealing bases and ovens: :1 tempering mill operational, 1 sitting unusable (Unupgraded and stripped for spares) * 3 coating lines 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rouge Steel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
