refining
Refining is a process that removes impurities from metals to enhance their quality. It removes unwanted materials that may weaken the metal; refinement ensures that the metal is purer, stronger, and more reliable for high-performance uses.
Key Features:
- Improves Purity: A key aspect of refinement is the removal of uncontrollable elements (for example: sulfur, phosphorus, oxides, and trapped gases) from the process, resulting in a cleaner and refined metal.
- Increases Strength and Performance: Refined metal provides improved mechanical properties such as strength, toughness, corrosion resistance, and longevity.
- Provides Alloy Consistency: It is vital in reaching the exact chemical composition needed to produce standard and specialty alloys.
Refining is common in steel production, non-ferrous metal construction (aluminum, copper, nickel), and high-purity metal production. It is essential for construction, automotive, aerospace, electrical engineering, and heavy equipment. Refined metal is used in products such as wires, rods, plates, turbine engine parts, and machine parts that require reliable performance and longevity.
