 Feature Article - Better Vehicles Through Steel - 04/03   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Weber acknowledges that the Epsilon doesn’t necessarily have a whole lot of high-strength steel content, part of this is a consequence of the fact that when the program was under development, and it started six years ago, the steels weren’t widely available so there wasn’t a good working knowledge vis-à-vis performance and processing characteristics.
Dual-phase steel is used for simple part shapes, such as in the rocker section, to provide increased compressive strength for key crash members.
While they are moving toward an increased use of higher strength steel at GM, Weber notes that they’re still developing the process knowledge that is necessary for such things as welding (e.g., it isn’t a good thing, he suggests, to weld dual-phase to dual-phase because of resultant brittleness) and forming.

Today, there is an active iron and steel industry in Birmingham and the north Alabama.
The iron ore no longer comes from Red Mountain, rather it is delivered by barge to Birmingport, Alabama, on the Warrior River in West Jefferson County.
This closing seems to be driven by the age of the facility, in spite of upgrade investments, the "dumping" of Japanese steel on the U S market, and competition from other newer facilities, ironically, such as Trico at Decatur, which received incentives from the State to open a new plant.
