Steel manufacture, Allegheny-Ludlum. This man is determined that there be no halt in production because of electrical power difficulties. He's a steel mill electrician, and his job is tremendously important in the maintenance of maximum efficiency throughout all the various processes of steel production

Steel alloy manufacture. Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corporation, Brackenridge, Pennsylvania. Power for the wheels of defense industry. The power house which generates all the steam required in this plant. The heavy wires in the foreground carry current to the electric melting furnaces

Steel manufacture, Allegheny-Ludlum. White-hot steel pours like water from a thirty-five ton electric furnace. The finest quality steels and alloys are produced in these furnaces, which allow much greater control of temperature than other conversion furnaces. The proportion of electric furnace steel is rising steadily, even though this process is the most expensive

Steel alloy manufacture. Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corporation, Brackenridge, Pennsylvania. Thirty-five ton electric arc melting furnace in operation. These furnaces convert scrap iron and steel into high quality steel alloys. This type of furnace gives much faster heating and permits the accurate temperature control so necessary in the processing of the high quality steels. The alloying elements are being added to the bath of molten steel

Steel alloy manufacture. Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corporation, Brackenridge, Pennsylvania. The rapid tempo of expansion necessary to meet the ever-mounting needs of the national defense production program. In the left foreground a newly completed electric melting furnace is already in operation as a construction crew puts the finishing touches on the furnaces beyond it. In the background additional plant structure is still being built. Electric melting furnaces provide faster melting of the steel bath and more precise control of temperature which is necessary in the processing of high quality alloy steels

Steel alloy manufacture. Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corporation, Brackenridge, Pennsylvania. Quality in the manufacture of steel requires constant control and research. This chemist is weighing the elements of a steel alloy to determine its exact composition. Analysis is determined to 1/1000 of 1 percent of each element in the alloy

A poster comes to life. "Meet the guys who shoot 'em." George Woolslayer introduces a group of open-hearth furnace men to his poster pals, Evans and Vineyard, who are getting a first-hand view of production for war. Although they knew how to shoot guns and drive jeeps before they came to Allegheny-Ludlum, they're seeing for the first time the kind of Americans who make these things: skilled and semi-skilled workers, tireless men who can work for hours in terrific heat.

A poster comes to life. K.P. was nothing like this, thinks Sergeant Vineyard, squinting against the scorching air which rises from the forging of a crane hook. Steel worker George Woolslayer (right) tells the Sergeant how his fellow workers go about the forging of implements of war in a blacksmith shop at Allegheny-Ludlum. Allegheny-Ludlum Steel
