The exothermic department manufactures chromium metal and chromium alloys by the aluminothermic reduction of chromium oxide. The department was completely rebuilt and relocated in 1997 to provide a state of the art facility.
The ferroalloy plant mainly produces a range of alloys used in the global steel and stainless steel industries. Secondary products include complex ferrous base alloys for welding applications and cobalt base alloys for magnet production.
The electric melting department produces a wide range of aluminium based grain refiners and master alloys in ingot, rod or castcut forms. Recent major investment has increased production capacity and reduced process variability.
The arc furnace shop uses single phase arc furnace technology. The carbothermic reduction process is a well established method for the production of alloys containing boron.
Completely rebuilt in the late 90s to improve material flows, capacity and working conditions, the ALTAB department produces a range of compacted products for the aluminium industry.
LSM employs split site crushing facilities to completely segregate various alloys. Dedicated lines crush ferroalloys and chromium metal down to a variety of sizes as dictated by customer specifications.
The grinding department compliments the ferroalloy, chromium and in-house crushing facilities enabling the production of powder alloys in a range of sizes for welding, hardfacing and magnetic applications.
