ArcelorMittal produces specific grades of flat steel products available as hot-rolled, cold rolled and coated steels for use in a wide variety of appliances or white goods. These durable steel products are the material of choice for manufacturing a variety of household appliances such as washers, dryers, dishwashers, stoves, and refrigerators. Steel can be endlessly recycled therefore improving the sustainability of the appliance when performing life cycle analyses. RoHS compliant chemical treatment is available to provide temporary corrosion protection on galvanized surfaces.

Type 1 aluminized steel can be used in ovens and dryers for heat ducting and burner parts. When used in cooking appliances, Type 2 and 3 enameling steels offer excellent formability, after-fire strength and sag resistance while preventing fish scale and carbon boil. Cold rolled embossed steel can be used on refrigerators, freezers or oven side panels to hide fingerprints and dirt. High strength steel is available for compressor brackets, structural components and hinges, while coated products provide additional protection against corrosive detergents and bleach. Other products include LustreLok™ and Ni-flash surface treatments.
