Smelting  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

Smelting (also called metallurgy) refers to the market- and profit-oriented extraction and use of metals, semi-metals and non-metals. It belongs to the category of metallurgy. Ores, for example, are extracted from corresponding metal ores by means of a melting process. From the raw material thus obtained it is possible to produce more noble metals with better properties. An example of this would be steel. In order to carry out such a process, a blast furnace with corresponding melting out temperatures is necessary. Through specific processing routes it is also possible to produce alloys, i.e. metal mixtures. Plants for smelting ores, soils, salts and old materials are called metallurgical plants.
