Efficient custom-engineered vacuum converters

Efficient custom-engineered vacuum converters

We specially develop vacuum converters for producing stainless, acid-resistant, and heat-resistant steel grades as well as highly alloyed special steels, manganese, and chromium alloys, plus medium and low-carbon ferromanganese and ferrochrome.

Benefits

• Outstanding metallurgical results: Lowest values of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen achievable
• Reduced operational costs: Shorter process times as well as lower consumption of Argon and FeSi
• Reduced investment costs

Highlights

• Metallurgical VOD performance at AOD process speed
• Two-stage decarburization in one unit
• Suitable for special stainless steels as well as for low carbon ferroalloys
• Upgrades with top lance and CO2 injection available
