A company or possible interest that is in the steel industry but is not a steel producer is UCAR (ticker=UCR, they make graphite electrodes for steel furnances). They were just beginning to get a nice upswing before getting whacked with a price-fixing investigation. I got turned on to UCAR by a value-oriented money manager who feels that the price-fixing charges will get resolved in their favor. Even with the hit they took, I'm still up 8% and they look to have good long-term plans in place. They also have a substantial international presence so even if the industry is in rough shape domestically, they aren't completely reliant on it. I'd be interested if anyone else has thoughts on this one...
