Our product line includes numerous alloys of carbon steel formulated for a wide range of uses.

Stainless steel is an alloy steel containing at least 10.5% chromium along with iron. Additional elements such as carbon, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, nickel, titanium, and niobium are added to produce a range of desired grades and properties. Stainless steel is used in automotive exhaust systems, automotive trim, cookware, cutlery, furnaces, and more. We manufacture over 50 stainless steel alloys formulated for varying durability, strength, aesthetics, fabrication needs, and temperature resistance.

We are the only U.S. producer of electrical steels that distribute power safely and efficiently across our country's electrical grid. We are committed to offering the most efficient electrical steels and developing the next generation of hyper-efficient electrical steels to power more efficient transformers, generators, and motors—including motors in hybrid and electric vehicles.

Steel tubing is used in machined or formed parts of vehicles, industrial and food processing equipment, farm machinery, construction, and household items. We produce round, square, rectangle, and custom shapes of varying diameters, lengths, and thicknesses designed to meet specific customer needs.

We specialize in Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) tubing for automakers. As automakers are challenged to improve safety and fuel economy, AHSS allows engineers to meet required safety, durability, and quality standards while improving efficiency.

We manufacture carbon and high-strength low alloy (HSLA) steel plates, as well as high-performance specialty steels and alloy steels. We offer clean, low-sulfur steels, a range of heat treatments, and in-line ultrasonic testing.

Our Carbon and HSLA plate products are suitable for storage tanks, ships, railcars, large diameter pipes, wind towers, machinery parts, and offshore structures. Our specialty steel plates are ideal for construction, mining, and logging equipment, pressure vessels, military armor, and hard rock processing equipment.

Cleveland-Cliffs is a leader in die design and tooling and process. We are one of the few companies in the market that can provide the entire catalog of formed and assembled components, including innovative, lightweight components, and subassemblies. Our state-of-the-art tool build facilities are staffed by highly talented tactical specialists with expertise in robotic transfer, progressive, automated transfer, and hot-stamp tooling. We have a track record of designing and manufacturing tools that other manufacturers believed to be impossible.

Our long product offerings include a wide range of sheet piles, rails, sections, and quality wire rods to meet the demands of downstream customers.

Cliffs’ Steel Tubes As Reinforcement – known as C-STAR™ protection ─ when used in combination with structural components, contributes to the ability for structural components to absorb energy and/or deform in a more controlled and predictable way. A C-STAR structure may be used in electric, hybrid, or ICE vehicles as reinforcements in rocker panels to protect passengers and/or batteries from a side-impact collision. C-STAR protection may also be used to protect motors, engines, electrical components, passenger compartments, storage compartments, and any area in a vehicle where this design is implemented.

The Cleveland-Cliffs Battery Enclosure is a sustainable and robust all-steel battery enclosure concept that meets stringent performance requirements. It is designed to fit any unibody architecture connecting to the rockers through the unique L-shaped tubular side rails. Our Battery Enclosure design utilizes an innovative one-piece bottom tray stamped with laser-welded blanks, which eliminates the need for additional reinforcements to protect the battery cells. It has novel L-shaped side rails, pushing the limit of design while providing robust protection for a side impact. The all-steel design enables a CO2 reduction of more than 70% as compared to a comparable all-aluminum design. It also has the advantage of thermal runaway mitigation.
