California Gets a New Plant: Broken Hill Proprietary Co. of Australia said it will build a $60-million plant in Rancho Cucamonga to coat sheet steel with Zincalume, a zinc and aluminum product that resists rust. The plant will have a capacity of 550,000 tons a year and will be the only such installation in the western United States. The company, which says it is the world leader in production of the coating, contends it is more durable than conventional galvanized steel, which is coated with zinc alone. Broken Hill did not say when the plant would be built or how many jobs it would generate.
