Steel Mini-Mill
A panoramic view of the Steel Of West Virginia steel mini-mill located in Huntington WV. I was able to take a tour of the steel mill one time. It was cool to watch them melt a large kettle of steel using giant electrodes, then dumping the molten steel through some sort of extruder to make large steel bars called billets, then watching the billets get rolled back and forth while being turned into an I-beam.
