Minerals

Base Metal

Aluminum (Al)

Aluminum is the third most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust, and the third most abundant element overall. The specific specifications of aluminum lead to a variety of uses for this metal in transportation, construction, and electrical equipment. Also, aluminum is highly recyclable which makes it more desirable to use.

Copper (Cu)

Due to its ductility and electrical and thermal conductivity, copper is oftentimes used in the production of electrical conductors, switches, transformers, and telecommunications.

Also, copper is an essential component in brass, phosphor bronze, and beryllium copper. To create these metal products, copper shall be combined with other metals.

Minor Metal

Molybdenum (Mo)

The main use of molybdenum is in alloy production. The increasing strength, hardness, electrical conductivity, and resistance to corrosion and wear are all the advantages of using molybdenum in alloys. The ‘moly steel’ alloys are used in engines, heating elements, drills, and saw blades.

The other uses for molybdenum include catalysts, inks for circuit boards, pigments, and electrodes.

Tantalum (Ta)

Tantalum is a rare, hard, blue-gray metal that is highly corrosion-resistant. It is part of the refractory metals group, which are widely used as minor components in alloys. The chemical inertness of tantalum makes it a valuable substance for laboratory equipment, and as a substitute for platinum. The main use of tantalum is in electronics and also in producing a variety of alloys.

Silicon (Si)

Silicon is one of the most useful elements to make alloys and polymers. Most products of silicon are aluminum-silicon and ferrosilicon (iron-silicon), and silicon-oxygen polymers. Also considering the semiconductor characteristic of silicon, this metal is used in computer and microelectronics industries.

Silica (SiO2)

Silica is another name for the chemical compound composed of silicon and oxygen. Silica is one of the most complex and most abundant families of materials, existing as a compound of several minerals and as a synthetic product. About 95% of the commercial use of silicon dioxide (sand) occurs in the construction industry, e.g., for the production of concrete. Silica is the primary ingredient in the production of most glass and also is used in semiconductor technology.

Ferroalloys

Manganese Ore (Mn)

Manganese is one of the most commonly traded metals. The main use of this metal is in Steel and Iron industry, and aluminum alloys, but there is a vast use of manganese in batteries and some other industries too.

Silico-Manganese (SiMn)

Like other manganese alloys, the main use of Silico-Manganese is in steelmaking and foundry activities. Silico-manganese adds additional silicon which is a stronger deoxidizer and which also helps to improve some mechanical properties of steel. We can provide different grades of Silico-Manganese including High Silica Manganese.

Steel Raw Materials

Iron Ore (Fe)

Iron is a metallic element that constitutes about 5% of the Earth’s crust and is the fourth most abundant element in the crust. The main use of iron ore is in steel production. Small amounts of iron ore are used in other applications such as coal wash plants and cement manufacturing. Iron is the most used metal accounting for about 95% of total metal tonnages produced worldwide.

Pig Iron

Pig iron is an intermediate product of the iron industry in the production of steel, also known as crude iron which the product of smelting iron ore (also ilmenite) with a high-carbon fuel and reductant such as coke, usually with limestone as a flux. Charcoal and anthracite are also used as fuel and reductant. Pig iron is produced by smelting or iron ore in blast furnaces or by smelting ilmenite in electric furnaces.

Carbon Steel

Rebar

Carbon steel is the most common form of steel rebar (short for reinforcing bar or reinforcing steel). Rebar is commonly used as a tensioning device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures holding the concrete in compression.

Pipe

Carbon steel piping is a durable material made from carbon steel, a steel alloy with iron and carbon. It is strong and withstands stress, therefore, carbon steel pipe is the best choice to use in a variety of heavy-duty industries like infrastructure, ships, distillers, and chemical fertilizer equipment.

Plate

Carbon steel is most often mild or hot-rolled steel. As corrosion-resistant and abrasion-resistant steel, carbon steel plates are well suited for applications requiring durability against stress as well as environmental stressors when used for outdoor purposes.

Stainless Steel

Bar

Stainless Steel bars usually have the shapes like flat, round, hexagonal, and square and mostly, it’s the form of the bar that defines its application space. Stainless Steel bars are used in a variety of industries, such as shipbuilding, automotive, textile, paper and pulp, cement, and construction.

Coil

There is a various range of use for stainless steel coils. Typical uses of stainless-steel coil include heat exchangers, heating elements, flexible tubing, filtration devices, cutlery products, springs, and surgical instruments..

Pipe

Stainless steel pipe is primarily used in piping systems for the transport of fluids or gases. This type of pipe resists oxidation, making it a low-maintenance solution that is suitable for high temperature and chemical applications. Because it is easily cleaned and sanitized, stainless steel pipe is also desired for applications involving food, beverages, and pharmaceutical applications.

Stainless steel pipe can be distinguished based on function, type, and grade. Some of its common types are 300 Series Austenitic (Typical grades are T304 and T316), 400 Series Martensitic (Typical Grade: 410 and 430), and Precipitation Hardening (Typical grade: 17-4).
