Manufacturing Process

Raw Material: scrap metal

The metal load of each heat comprises an adequate mix of selected scrap and sponge iron pellets in order to obtain the appropriate content of residual elements according to the type of steel to be produced.

The use of sponge iron pellets allows very low content levels of residual elements such as Cr, Ni, Cu, Mo, Sn and N2.

Both the scrap and the sponge iron pellets, as well as the rest of the raw materials ? ferroalloys, recarburizers and synthetic slags ? are acquired according to the purchase specifications from approved suppliers and are subjected to regular controls on reception.
