Steel Manufacturing Information

The iron and steel manufacturing process encompasses many applications to produce clean and ultraclean steel with improved mechanical properties that meets customer requirements. We have solutions for raw material quality control, process optimization, laboratory analysis, detecting potentially contaminated scrap metal, and air quality monitoring, all of which are needed to produce quality strip in a manner that maximizes mill yield and minimizes scrap while meeting specifications for thickness, width, hardness, and strength.
