Ferrous Metallurgy

Iron Industry
High performance ductile iron castings, especially automotive safety-critical parts, represent the main portion of this market. Other parts include windmill nose cones, machine building, agriculture, earth moving, and railway components. In these demanding applications requiring high quality raw materials, our recarburiser Desulco® is recognized as the benchmark since its introduction in 1977. For applications able to tolerate slightly higher sulfur levels, Super-G™ has been developed.

Steel industry
Modern mini-mills achieve their final metallurgical properties through ladle refining. Our ARK® Electrodes are utilized in ladle metallurgy furnaces around the world, and in foundries melting steel with electric arc furnaces. High quality recarburisers are utilized in plants producing high carbon steel grades where Desulco® provides a very cost effective alternative to degassing.
