AMCS :: Metal Production

With ULTRA Series^® gas production plants, AMCS supplies metal producers with the on-demand means to generate the industrial gases necessary to keep production furnaces operating. AMCS technology can help increase efficiency throughout the entire metal production process.

Applications:

Electric arc furnaces
Basic oxygen furnaces
Stainless steel making foundries

Gases and Liquids

Argon
Nitrogen
Oxygen

Application Examples:

Nitrogen , specific to Inerting and Purging in the Metal Production arena, is used to:
- activate shutoff switches in furnaces and burners
- discharge gas and slag by bubbling through porous bed stones or lances
- in nozzle atomization to spray metal melts and gain high quality metal powers
- sinter metallurgical powers under shielding gas
Nitrogen , specific to Cooling, Preserving and Deep Freezing in the Metal Production arena, is used for:
- Temper and harden metal parts through high pressure (HP) gas quenching after annealing furnaces
- embrittle knock off lugs and cast iron
- remover residual austenite in hardened steel parts using cooling baths
Oxygen, specific to combustion and chemical oxidation by replacing air in the Metal Production arena, is used to:
- Refine pig iron in converters
- Melting, refining and alloying with Oxygen lances in electrical arc furnaces
- Increase burner and furnace performance for
  - Blast furnaces
  - Aluminum or Copper furnaces
  - Blast
Argon, specific to low reactive gases, high inert capability, thermal conductivity and solubility in water and oils in the Metal Production arena, is used to:
- Feed powered alloy components into steel and other metal melts
- Atomise molten metals with high-pressure jets for producing high-quality metal powders
- Anneal stainless steal
- Prevent oxidation of hot, light metal alloys
