At Elektrowerk Weisweiler, the ores are processed and subsequently melted in a high-performance electric arc furnace. Through a precisely controlled metallothermic process, low carbon ferrochrome (LC FeCr) is produced \u2013 accompanied by a calcium silicate slag that is later processed as a valuable resource.<\/p>\n
The art lies in the precise adjustment of the chemical composition. This creates customized quality grades, such as LLL or ELC \u2013 precisely tailored to the requirements of our international customers. After production, the material is crushed to the desired size according to specification, professionally packaged, and delivered worldwide to the superalloy, stainless steel, foundry, and forging industries.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
