This is the sixth video in my series on steelmaking in the U.S.
This video will show how the coke used in the process is created from coal.
You'll see the coal unloaded from a train, carried to the coke battery, loaded into one of the 100 ovens and then cooked and turned into coke.
Finally, we'll watch as the red-hot coke is quenched and readied to be used in the steelmaking process.
