Our Products
We market a variety of metals and ores. Some of our major products include:
Ferroalloys are alloys of iron containing a significant proportion of one or more other elements like silicon, manganese, chromium, aluminum, or titanium. Ferroalloys include ferrochrome, ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, silicomanganese, silicochromium and other alloys. The main applications of ferroalloys occur in the steelmaking process.
HC FeCr
High carbon ferrochrome is one of the most common ferroalloys produced and is almost exclusively used in the production of stainless steel and high chromium steels.
LC FeCr
Low Carbon Ferrochrome is a ferroalloy used to regulate the ratio of chromium in steel production without carbon and other unwanted ingredients. Due to high quality, it is a reliable and economical alternative instead of metallic chromium in Superalloy production.
FeSi
Ferrosilicon is an alloy of iron and silicon with a very variable silicon content between 10% and 90%. It is used as a so-called master alloy in steel production, which is added in small amounts in order to adjust the properties of the melt, the cooling process and the finished product.
Chromium ore
Chromium Ore is used as a raw material for the production of chrome-containing alloys as well as a refractory in the production of steel, glass and cement.
Manganese ore
Manganese Ore is used as a raw material for the production of manganese-containing alloys, such as silicomanganese and ferromanganese as well as directly for iron and steel manufacturing.
Base metals are any nonferrous metals that are neither precious metals nor noble metals. The most common base metals are copper, lead, nickel, tin, aluminum, and zinc. They are all used in a wide variety of applications.
Aluminium
Aluminum is used in a wide variety of products including: cans, foils, kitchen utensils, window frames, and airplane parts.
Nickel
Nickel is used in variety of production, including EV batteries and stainless-steel.
Zinc
Zinc is used to produce die-castings, which are important in the automobile, electrical and hardware industries.
Minor metals are defined as metals that are by-products of other metals. They usually have a relatively low annual production volume, compared to base metals, and are used in a very specialist and high technology applications.
Cobalt
Cobalt is used in many alloys & super alloys to make parts in aircraft engines, gas turbine, high-speed steels, corrosion resistant alloys, cemented carbides. On a global basis, the leading use of cobalt is in rechargeable battery electrodes.
Molybdenum
It is used in steel alloys to increase strength, hardness, electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion and wear. These ‘moly steel’ alloys are used in parts of engines. Other alloys are used in heating elements, drills and saw blades.
