several shapes on a single bar, giving the mill flexibility in handling smaller orders or orders for unusual shapes and sizes beyond the typical rounds, squares, and flats produced in the normal forging process. The rotary hearth, handling equipment, forging machine, abra- sive saw, and quench tanks are all installed in a 35,000-square-foot ad- dition to the existing bar mill com- plex. The addition was designed, engineered, and constructed by oth- er Armco business units, including Armco Building Systems of Sharon- ville, Ohio; Bovay Engineers of Houston; Burns & McDonnell of Kansas City, Mo.; Encorp of Blue Ash, Ohio; and the Armco Construc- tion Products Division of Middle- town, Ohio. Also on stream is a new state-of- the-art horizontal continuous caster, a first in the U.S. specialty steel industry. Both the forging ma- chine and caster are part of the sec- ond phase of a three-phase program to modernize Armco's Baltimore Works, according to works manager Thomas Harris. The first phase included installation of a top-charge electric furnace, a rotary hearth rod and wire annealing furnace, and a rough bar turner. Phase three will involve rolling facilities, Mr. Har- ris said. The Baltimore-based Stainless Steel Division produces ingots, bil- lets, bar, rod, and wire products; it also produces stainless flat-rolled products at the Butler Works in Butler, Pa., and stainless pipe and tube products in Wildwood, Fla. Armco Inc., the parent company, is based in Middletown, Ohio. Armco is offering a new color bro- chure describing the capabilities and products of the precision rotary forge; for a free copy, Circle 35 on Reader Service Card Capt. J.
