10 Together with ferroalloys and slagformers, the recyclable steel is melted in an electric arc molten steel is then tapped into a de-slagging unit removes oxygen-rich slag and after the de-oxidation, alloying and heating of the steel bath are carried out inthe ladle furnace. Vacuum degassing removes elements such ashydrogen, nitrogen and uphill casting the prepared moulds are filled with a controlledflow of molten steel from the ladle. From this, the steel goesdirectly to our rolling mill or to the forging press to be formedinto round or flat TREATMENTP rior to delivery all of the different bar materials are subjected toa heat treatment operation, either as soft annealing or hardeningand tempering. These operations provide the steel with the rightbalance between hardness and the material is finished and put into stock, we also roughmachine the bar profiles to required size and exact the lathe machining of large dimensions, the steel bar rotatesagainst a stationary cutting tool.
