Aluminothermic Chromium
Metal Lump
Aluminothermic Chromium Metal Lump is produced
by blending Chromium oxide, Sodium Dichromate
and Aluminium powder together with other reductants/catalysts,
loading the mix into a firing vessel, and igniting
it. This produces a chemical reaction, resulting
in a reduction of the Chromic oxide to pure Chromium
metal, and aluminium slag. Aluminothermic Chromium
is widely used in the super-alloy industry, specifically
in the production of nickel and cobalt based alloys
for aerospace, dental and medical applications,
and land-based turbines. Furthermore, it is a
key element in heat and corrosion resistant specialty
alloys.
Bell Metals Ltd has worked with the primary producers
of this material in China since its foundation
in 1978, and is probably the most significant
importer of this product to Europe. The Bell Group
has strong links with many of the super-alloy
producers world-wide, supplying consistent product
for such applications.
Aluminothermic Metal Powder
Using Aluminothermic Chromium Metal Lump as feedstock
material, Bell Metals Ltd's Aluminothermic Chromium
Metal Powder is mechanically ground, and has an
irregular morphology. It is used for the production
of welding consumables, primarily welding electrodes,
flux and cored wire, and is also an essential
element in the CuCr alloy used in switch-gear
production, and for thermal spray applications.
Bell Metals Ltd added aluminothermic Chromium
Metal Powder to its list of products in 1999,
working with a variety of partners in the production
of an extensive range. It is generally sold according
to the customer's required specification, rather
than to a standard specification.
