United States Steel was formed in 1901 by the merger of Andrew Carnegie’s Carnegie Steel, Elbert H. Gary’s Federal Steel Company, and William Henry Moore’s National Steel Company.
At the time of merger, the new company became the world’s largest steel producer. During its first year, the company made 67% of all steel produced in the United States.
During World War II, production peaked at 340,000 employees and 35 million tons of steel manufactured each year.
Today U.S. Steel is the world’s 13th largest steel producer with an annual capacity of 29 million net tons of raw steel.
Customers are in the automotive, appliance, construction, oil and gas, and petrochemicals industries.
U.S. Steel trades publicly on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol X, is a member of the S&P 500, is #211 in the Fortune 500, has 38,500 employees, and had $17.28 billion in revenue in 2013.

Where can I get info on us steel for construction o greenhouses?
ok crazy question. worked in controllers office at university in mid west/my first job. the controller had worked for u.s. steel probably pittsburgh but too long ago to remember. anyway, he claimed that us steel once built what at that time was the biggest oil tanker i believe he said it was built in houston. he said the president of the u.s. plus many other dignitaries were there for christening. also claimed after it was christened and backed out of its berth the ship sank!!
i am trying to find out if that really happened. i started work at the university in 1964 and the controller had been there for a few years before me.
thanks

Diamonds –Not on the soles of her shoes
My job was for an air-pollution testing laboratory and after I got fired I had this unlimited pass-ID card to get on the Birmingham Fairfiels Works U.S. Steel property. It was dark cold winter-time, I was dressed in blue jeans and had a down Napa leather jacket and smooth boots; had my hardhat. I drove onsite to BlastFurnace No.8, the second largest in the world, one bigger in Kyyoto. Went to the control room and signed-in and went out on the floor. Imagine St. Paul’s times four: In the arc sodium and mercury lights, like at a ballgame, the interior was lit; imagine not a mist or a rain, but a snow-flurry of graphite. Powdered pencil lead from the coke, its coal, one of the main ingredients of iron. It came down, reluctant, as tiny diamonds. BF #8 is cold now, nobody around here gets to see that now; however, in front of The Birmingham Museum of Art, by a Hispanic artist, is a statue of a Lancer, from back when blast furnaces were super-dangerous. That object should be noted. The artist saw what I saw. And there are have been a bunch of Lancers. We built this country. I think the seamless-pipe rolling mill still goes. No more coil. No more slab.
If we don’t put a Dollar extra tax on gasoline to build-out infrastructure, #8 will never be relit. Work for a generation.
I will be teaching a senior education course at Carnegie Mellon University early next year
and would appreciate your answer as to whether you have appropriate audio visual material
on U S Steel that I could use. If it makes any difference, I spent a summer working at
the Homestead works, away back when! Your reply will be appreciated.
