Products
AMG Chrome manufactures various grades of chromium metal, including very high-purity, very low gas content chromium metal for superalloy components, including single crystal turbine blades for the aerospace industry.
In addition, ferrotitanium and ferroboron powder is manufactured for use in the welding industry. These metallic powders perform deoxidizing and alloying functions in a wide range of electrode types and hard-facing operations.
Nickel boron is manufactured by the carbon reduction of boric acid together with high-purity nickel. The requirements for low carbon can be met by the production of two special grades of NiB, with the process carefully controlled to reduce the residual levels of carbon. Nickel boron is used for applications in the hard-facing and superalloy industries.
