Technological leadership
ArcelorMittal is one of the most technologically advanced steel companies in the world, incorporating a range of modern steel making technologies. These include DRI-EAF, Corex-Midrex-CSP and BF-BOF. Our steel-finishing plants, I/N Tek and I/N Kote (both joint ventures with Nippon Steel), have set new standards for automation, productivity and quality in the production of cold-rolled and galvanized steels.
ArcelorMittal has state-of-the-art research and development centers with global responsibility for process and product development. Our Research and Development Center located in East Chicago, Indiana, is primarily devoted to research on flat products.
Over the years, we have developed the most comprehensive portfolio of advanced high strength steels for the automotive industry and innovative products for the appliance and electric motor industries (including advanced high-strength steels, stainless substitute steels and fingerprint-resistant steels).
ArcelorMittal was among the first steel makers to participate in the customer product design process. We are a leader in process modeling techniques focused on quality improvement, product development and cost reduction.
Our global application development team continues to work closely with customers in areas such as crash management systems, weight efficiency, motor design efficiency and global sourcing. Our scientists have been awarded worldwide recognition for their work in these fields.
ArcelorMittal is committed to building strong, long-term relationships with customers through timely product development and effective engineering support.
