Fascinating film. Interesting in that this is not new technology. From recent news about Port Talbot I got the impression that they wanted to replace replace the existing furnaces with electric arc as an efficiency and environmental measure. Thank you for sharing
@@AluminumOxide the Stockbridge plant still exists but No.2 shop was closed in 2004. C furnace was scrapped about 8 years later. I worked there at the time. The EAFs Liberty have are at Aldwarke, N and T Furnace.
The media quality - as captured and as preserved - is outstanding.

The dude at 1:30 really had his work safety fashion in order
This plant still exists today and still has its twin arc furnaces! It’s now run by liberty steel UK.
