Refined, ultra-pure ferro-silico-chromium with controlled content of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen

In order to obtain the quality objective, Re Alloys carried out development works covering determination of the best mixture of raw materials, analysis of mechanisms of gas elements passing to an alloy and enhancing of previous FeSiCr refining and tapping manners. Technological tests of the solutions developed were carried out in production environment since no laboratory tests can reflect the specific thermal conditions and reactions occurring in furnaces and refining ladles. Within the project, based upon the granted licence, an innovative, patent-pending refining technology, which allows for obtaining low carbon content, was used. On 01 August 2017 implementation of the project’s results took place. It consisted of introduction of the development works results to business activity of Re Alloys. It allowed for introduction of ultra-pure ferro-silico-chromium to the world market – an alloy characterised by quality which has not been obtained by the world’s producers before. The quality was obtained thanks to specially selected raw materials as well as production technology developed by European Solutions (patented invention) and enhanced by Re Alloys within the project implementation. The product is manufactured with the use of the existing facilities of Re Alloys’ operating plant. The production is carried out at the III furnace building, two furnace units of the power of 12 MVA each.
