How are you going to compete with Japan and China?

Anyway go the great american rust belt most likely a foundry for sale but it will be closed all except for U.S. Steel but they import steel from Japan.

Well, to produce billets you will need a continuos caster, That should be about $125 million for decent technology.

Of course you'll already have the Electric furnace shop to melt the scrap, and a bulk materials handling system for the ferro manganese and other chemistry additions you'll need to make commercial grades.

The spectrometers for the chem lab should be under $100,000; The leco carbon analyzers might go for under $50,000. without that you won't have any way to verify steel grade.

The defense attorneys for defending you from the EPA after you have created a superfund site: PRICELESS!
