E furnace (made ferro manganese) and L furnace were shut down the night of July 20, 1977 due to the Johnstown Flood that caused the plant to lose power and water damage which caused the blowing turbines to shut down.
H furnace was saved due to it being relined in 1976 and was idle when when the flood struck. H was restarted and operated until Aug 1981 when it was abandoned when Johnstown was changed to electric steelmaking furnaces.
H furnace was never fully tapped out. It was torn down and the iron that was left in the hearth is still visible. It was said that iron recovery was attempted, but it
was unsuccessful so it was left as a sort of monument.

Why quartzite is used in blast furnace in steel making?
Quartzite is used in blast furnaces in steel making as a flux material. It helps to remove impurities and non-metallic elements from the iron ore, allowing for the production of pure molten iron. Quartzite also helps to maintain the appropriate chemical balance in the furnace during the steel making process.
