The U. S. Steel Research and Technology Center is located in Munhall, Pa., just outside of Pittsburgh. The facility carries out a wide range of applied research, development and technical support functions for the corporation. 
U. S. Steel Research has two strategic goals relative to steel technology: (1) provide a sound technical base for the future and (2) make a significant contribution to current business performance.
A workforce of approximately 115 researchers and technicians, many with post-graduate degrees, staff internal projects and technical assistance programs. In addition, cooperative development projects are supported and conducted with various universities, other steel companies through the AISI and with selected customers.

The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified Research and Technology Center is located in the Waterfront, a shopping, entertainment and office complex situated on the site of U. S. Steel’s former Homestead Works. The building’s 120,000 square feet of space contains a wide array of advanced safety features, cutting-edge technology and energy efficiencies, three things closely linked to our corporate values. In addition to traditional laboratory and office space, other facilities and services include: a multidisciplinary technical library, full microscopy facilities, materials testing laboratories and several development facilities that simulate all aspects of steel production.
