A process to make synthetic graphite was invented by Edward Goodrich Acheson (1856–1931). In the mid-1890s, Acheson discovered that overheating carborundum, which he is also credited with discovering, produced almost pure graphite. While studying the effects of high temperature on carborundum, he had found that silicon vaporizes at about 4,150 °C (7,500 °F), leaving behind graphitic carbon. This graphite was another major discovery for him, and it became extremely valuable and helpful as a lubricant. In 1896 Acheson received a patent for his method of synthesizing graphite, and in 1897 started commercial production. The Acheson Graphite Co. was formed in 1899. Acheson also developed a variety of colloidal graphite products including Oildag and Aquadag. These were later manufactured by the Acheson Colloids Co.

Soapstone (also known as steatite, or soaprock) is a talc–schist, which is a type of metamorphic rock. It is largely composed of the mineral talc and is thus rich in magnesium.Soapstone has been used in India for centuries as a medium for carving. Welders and fabricators use soapstone as a marker due to its resistance to heat; it remains visible when heat is applied. It has also been used for many years by seamstresses, carpenters, and other craftsmen as a marking tool because its marks are visible and not permanent. Soapstone is also widely used in the cosmetics industry as talcum in various products. Soapstone can be used to create molds for casting objects from soft metals, such as pewter or silver. The soft stone is easily carved and is not degraded by heating. The slick surface of soapstone allows the finished object to be easily removed.

Besides mild steel, nickel, Nickel-copper, Nickel irons are also used in MIG & TIG welding. Stainless steel wires are also used for welding in fertilizer, chemical & surgical instrument making industry. Coating ingredients are basically rutile, ilmenite, potassium silicate, sodium silicate and minerals like quartz, calcite, wollastonite and mica. Ferro alloys including ferro manganese powders (high carbon, low carbon, extra low carbon), ferro chrome (extra high carbon, high carbon, low carbon and extra low carbon), ferro silicon (atomized and stabilized), ferro titanium, ferro silico manganese are also used as welding fluxes and electrodes raw materials.

Ferro Manganese Medium Carbon is widely demanded by Steel and Casting Industries. Ferro Manganese Medium Carbon helps to remove sulphur from steel and gives the malleability and machineability and durability. Ferro Manganese also helps in deoxidation of molten metal. The medium carbon ferro manganese is made by the aluminothermic process or by the MOR Process if furnace route is used.

Manganese is a chemical element with symbol Mn and atomic number 25. Manganese is not found as a free element in nature; Manganese is often found in combination with iron, and in many minerals. Manganese is a metal with important industrial metal alloy uses, particularly in stainless steels. Manganese is a silvery-gray metal that resembles iron. Manganese is hard and very brittle, difficult to fuse, but easy to oxidize. Manganese is essential to iron and steel production by virtue of its sulfur-fixing, deoxidizing, and alloying properties. Steelmaking, including its iron making component, has accounted for most manganese demand, presently in the range of 85% to 90% of the total demand. Among a variety of other uses, manganese is a key component of low-cost stainless steel formulations.

Basic Ramming Mass is a magnesia based refractory lining material for induction furnaces. Basic Ramming Mass or Magnesia Ramming Mass is widely used in industries which work with high manganese steel and high chromium steel to make quality products. Basic Ramming Mass has much longer life span compared to acidic ramming mass or neutral ramming mass. The wide range of basic ramming masses are produced using a blend of indigenous Dead Burnt Magnesia and imported fusedsea water magnesia. Basic Ramming Masses find acceptance in coreless induction furnaces, EAF hearth, cold and hot steel launders.

Extra low carbon ferrochrome is used during steel production to correct chrome percentages, without causing undesirable variations in the carbon or trace element percentages. Extra Low Carbon ferro chrome is also a low cost alternative to metallic chrome for uses in super alloys and other special melting applications. Extra Low Carbon Ferro Chrome is limited by the carbon content of the alloy being not more than 0.03%. Extra Low Carbon Ferro Chrome is usually produced by the Perrin Process, Thermit Process or by the VIM Process.

Silicon manganese is a chemical compound made by mixing natural silicon with manganese, an element found naturally in the earth. When combined, these elements can be used to produce a number of specialty steel alloys. Silico manganese enhances the natural properties of steel, giving it increased strength and function, as well as improved aesthetic appeal. This means that silicon manganese alloys can be used in applications beyond those associated with standard steel products. Silicon manganese may also be known as ferro silico manganese or abbreviated as SiMn. Silico Manganese may be used alone, or combined with other substances to create various alloys. The ratio of silicon to manganese can also be adjusted to give steel the desired properties. Standard silicon manganese steel alloys contain 14 to 16 percent silicon, and as much as 68 percent manganese. They also include small amounts of carbon, which is required for the steel to undergo a chemical reactions with these compounds. In stainless or specialty steel products, the silicon content can be as high as 30 percent.

Ferro Manganese High Carbon is an alloy of iron and manganese with high carbon contents, usually 6-8% ww. High carbon Ferro Manganese is usually produced in arc furnace from manganese ore and coke in specified ratios. The widespread shift toward duplex refining practices such as the AOD, CLU, etc., has led to greatly increased use of high-carbon ferromanganese. High Carbon Ferro Manganese is a bulk Ferro Alloy with India playing a vital role in its production. With the mentioned refining practices in use by stainless steel producers, this alloy has become their primary raw material as a source of manganese.

High-purity graphitized petroleum coke is made from high quality petroleum coke under a temperature of 2,500-3,500°C. As a high-purity carbon material, it has characteristics of high fixed carbon content, low sulfur, low ash, low porosity etc. Graphitized Petroleum Coke can also be used in plastic and rubber as an additive. Graphitized Petroleum Coke cannot be called graphite as it is not completely graphitized. Only a part of petroleum coke achieves graphitization and hence the name, Graphitized Petroleum Coke. Since Graphitized Petroleum Coke contains fixed carbon as high as 98-99%, it can be used as carbon raiser (Recarburizer) to produce high quality steel,cast iron and alloy.It can also be used in plastic and rubber as an additive. Graphitized Petroleum Coke has high fixed carbon content and very low sulphur levels making it extremely useful as substitute for graphite in many applications.

Ferro Titanium is used by stainless steel makers as a stabilizer to prevent chromium carbide forming at grain boundaries and in the production of low carbon steels for sheet production. Ferro Titanium is also used in foundries for addition of titanium to the molten metal imparting excellent strength to it without altering other ratios. Various titanium bearing materials are employed in making Ferro Titanium. Major sources include titanium scrap, titanium sponge, ilmenite, leucoxene, rutile. These materials are either reduced by aluminothermic means or melted in induction furnace with iron to produce ferro titanium of various grades and specifications. Various grades are manufactured, the most common being 20-25% Ti for foundries, 35-40% Ti for welding, 70% Ti for stainless steel production.

Ferro Sulphur, composed of iron and sulphur with a sulphur content ranging between 28% and 32%, with this content being what defines the quality of the product. There are typically two grades according to its sulphur content, between 28% and 32% and between 48% and 50%. Ferro Sulphur is used in metallurgy give the steel or alloy the desired sulphur content. It is used for this purpose instead of elemental sulphur because the low melting point of the sulphur could accumulate on the molten metal surface, causing SO2 emissions and also a deterioration of its mechanical properties by the formation of a low eutectic melting point in the grain boundaries.

Chromium is a chemical element with symbol Cr and atomic number 24. Chromium is the first element in Group 6. Chromium is a steely-gray, lustrous, hard and brittle metal which takes a high polish, resists tarnishing, and has a high melting point. Chromium metal is commercially produced from chromite by aluminothermic reaction, or by roasting and leaching processes. Chromium metal has proven of high value due to its high corrosion resistance and hardness. A major development was the discovery that steel could be made highly resistant to corrosion and discoloration by adding metallic chromium to form stainless steel. This application, along with chrome plating (electroplating with chromium) currently comprise 85% of the commercial use for the element, with applications for chromium compounds forming the remainder.

Petroleum coke (often abbreviated petcoke) is a carbonaceous solid delivered from oil refinery coker units or other cracking processes. Coking processes that can be employed for making petcoke include contact coking, fluid coking, flexicoking and delayed coking. Other coke has traditionally been delivered from coal. This coke can either be fuel grade (high in sulphur and metals) or anode grade (low in sulphur and metals). The raw coke directly out of the coker is often referred to as green coke. In this context, “green” means unprocessed. The further processing of green coke by calcining in a rotary kiln removes residual volatile hydrocarbons from the coke. The calcined petroleum coke can be further processed in an anode baking oven in order to produce anode coke of the desired shape and physical properties. The anodes are mainly used in the aluminium and steel industry.

Commercial iron powders are classified in three types, reduced iron powder, atomized iron powder, and electrolytic iron powder, depending on the production method, and are used in various applications, taking advantage of their respective properties.
