Providing superior quality blooms to the forging industry

PST: Capability, Commitment and Experience unique in modern steelmaking

A wholly owned subsidiary of Bethlehem Steel Corporation, PST can claim more than a century of innovation in steelmaking.

For the past 10 years, PST has been a major supplier of blooms to many segments of the forging industry, including open and closed die forging, ring rolling, upsetting, and extruding. Products range from disks and flanges to deep-drawn cylinders.

Capability

Our "Jumbo" bloom caster produces the largest cast blooms in North America ... 23.6" x 14.6". And we have invested more than $200 million in the last 10 years to meet the forging industry's demand for high-quality cast blooms which provide a uniform cross section, end-to-end. Modernization efforts have included the addition of a new 150 NT DC electric arc furnace, ladle arc furnace and a vacuum degasser, all aimed at providing the best internal steel cleanliness.

Commitment

Modernization and the introduction of new technology are important measures of PST's commitment to the forging industry. Another is our dedicated capacity. At PST, no other market has a higher priority, and our reserved capacity for cast blooms translates into a reliable source with the most dependable lead times in the industry.

People and Technology

Producing quality steel requires more than modern equipment and advanced technology. It takes a knowledgeable and experienced work force. PST is fortunate to have such a dedicated team - from technical personnel in the modern research laboratory in Bethlehem, Pa., to a highly skilled work force on the shop floor in Steelton. Through the combined energies of our people, PST has the ability to deliver on its commitment to provide quality forging blooms and responsive service.
