When it comes to steel consumption, America remains one of the biggest players on the global stage. In fact, the U.S. ranks as the fourth-largest steel producer globally, trailing behind China, India, and Japan, with an annual production estimate of around 85,791.4 thousand tons. The steel industry is undeniably crucial for manufacturing and infrastructure projects across the nation. But why should you prioritize buying American-made steel?
In this piece, we'll explore the three key reasons why choosing products made from American stainless steel is a wise decision. We’ll also explain why IMC has made it a priority to source exclusively American stainless steel. Let’s dive in.
First off, quality is paramount. When comparing American steel to its counterparts, particularly from China, there's no contest. While Chinese steel might be cheaper, it often carries significant safety risks due to inconsistencies in composition, such as varying levels of boron and chromium. On the flip side, American steel boasts lower oxidation rates, which makes it less prone to rust and degradation over time. Additionally, American steel undergoes stringent safety testing through organizations like ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), ensuring compliance with rigorous standards throughout the production process.
Moving on to the environmental aspect, the American steel industry stands out as one of the cleanest and most energy-efficient in the world. Unlike China, where steel production accounts for a staggering 10%-15% of annual emissions, mills in the U.S. operate under strict environmental regulations. These regulations ensure that American steel has significantly lower CO2 emissions compared to its international competitors. Furthermore, the U.S. steel industry is actively working toward reducing its environmental footprint by aiming to cut emissions by 50% by 2050.
Lastly, there’s the economic impact. The American steel industry contributes approximately $520 billion annually to the economy and supports nearly 2 million jobs. Given the ongoing demand for steel, this sector isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Investing in American-made stainless steel is essentially an investment in the U.S. economy.
