Steel producers are increasingly manufacturing high and low-carbon, structural, unique alloyed, and mechanical steel qualities, all of which have high requirements for resistance, strength, and purity. Inferior quality of raw materials increases process difficulties resulting from the presence of harmful residual elements such as sulfur, phosphorous, hydrogen, and non-metallic inclusion of SiO2 and Al2O3.
STEELMAKING
Making steel from iron is the secondary refining process, also known as secondary metallurgy.
Opta can treat and even remove those impurities using secondary metallurgy, cored wires, and slag conditioners. Application of those products comprises precise technical diagnosis using state-of-the-art computer modeling, empirical data from in-situational use, and follow-up by highly qualified technicians. Opta ensures optimum results and customer satisfaction.
Steelmaking Products
Opta has extensive knowledge in sand, fluxes, and insulators. Our team can help develop a solution that will improve quality and reduce your time from tap to cast.
Insulators & Fluxes
Insulators and fluxes for various steelmaking needs, from acid to basic practices. We sell standard products for ladles and tundishes, and we have developed specific fluxes, including our T3 series tundish flux used in the majority of the thin slab casters in the United States.
