AK Steel has advised its customers that a USD 75 per ton surcharge will be added to invoices for electrical steel products shipped in August 2009.

August 2009 surcharges for the broad range of stainless steel products that AK Steel produces can be found on the company’s web site at www.aksteel.com.

AK Steel’s surcharges are based on reported prices for raw materials and energy used to manufacture the products, with the June 2009 purchase cost used to determine the August 2009 surcharges.
