WROUGHT
Best Processing Rolled Slag Into The Steels
Used Consumables With Cleaning
Capabilities
Welding De-gassed-slagged
Impurities Were Part Of The Process
Used High Heat Inputs

CARBON STEELS
LOW-MED-HIGH

Better Quality Steels


More Refined
More Homogeneous
Welding De-gassed Re-refined
SMAW-FCAW-GMAW-SAW
From Ductile To Hard To Weld
Welding With High Heat Input

High Strength Low Alloy


HSLA

Better Quality
More Refined
GMAW-FCAW-SAW-SMAW
Better Properties By Processing Steel
Limit Heat Input To Retain Properties

Advanced High Strength Steel


AHSS
