Sheet Steel

This early 1900s photo shows Inland Steel Company workers with the sheet bar mill. The company's business was reducing iron ore to steel. Its only steel mill was located in East Chicago, Indiana, on the Indiana Harbor and Ship Canal and a large landfill protruding out into Lake Michigan. If sheet steel is to be made, the slabs pass to the table of the sheet bar mill. The same operation as in the blooming mill is here repeated, though on a smaller scale and the resulting sheet bar is a long snake-like strip of steel. This red hot sheet bar travels onward to the saw that cuts it into 30-foot lengths.
