Armco Ends Open Hearth Era at Middletown Works
Armco Inc plans to halt open hearth furnace steelmaking at its Middletown Works between Dayton and Cincinnati after the final heat. The furnace will be repurposed to melt pig iron for a basic oxygen furnace. Open hearths began in 1901 under Robert B. Carnahan, an early advocate, hired to cut costs from the Bessemer process.
