The Research Department of Bethlehem
Steel Corp., located at the Homer Research Laboratories in Bethlehem, Pa., is
the company's primary resource for steel-related research and technology development.
Our mission is straightforward:
develop technology that improves our manufacturing processes and products -- with the
single-minded aim of helping Bethlehem's customers obtain the maximum value possible from
our steel products. This ambitious aim directs a surprisingly broad range of projects --
from defining refractory technology that optimizes blast furnace life to inventing a
product custom-tailored to serve the needs of an individual customer.
