Hosted by the Forging Industry Association (FIA), this year’s Forge Fair featured innovation, sustainability, industry leaders and new and familiar faces. Charter Steel talked amongst other professionals in the industry about the upcoming non-destructive testing facility launch, the electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking process, and more.
NDT Facility
Customers were excited to hear about Charter Steel’s non-destructive testing facility opening soon in Cleveland. In preparation for full launch of the NDT facility, we continue to verify that the bar being shipped exceeds your quality requirements and ensure the product performs exactly as expected.

Investing in Sustainability
There was also interest in sustainability, including Charter Steel’s presentation at the conference titled EAF Steelmaking Technologies for Enhanced Forging Performance.
We shared our expertise in EAF steelmaking and its many efficiencies. Using electrical currents to melt scrap steel and other recycled materials, EAF steelmaking is more energy efficient while allowing for more flexibility in the steelmaking process. It also produces a carbon footprint that is 75% less than a traditional blast furnace. Download our presentation here.
