Our material is produced with tight chemistry control to provide heat - to - heat consistency and unparalleled cleanliness. Materials are electric arc furnace melted, ladle refined and vacuum degassed. Our steel is then bottom poured into a wide range of either cylindrical or tapered big - end - up ingots based on our customers ’ needs. Low carbon stainless steel grades are produced using state - of the - art Vacuum Oxygen Decarburization (VOD) processing.

Additional refining through vacuum arc remelting (VAR) and electro - slag remelting (ESR) are available when even more stringent cleanliness specifications are required.
