Ferroalloy Team: Procurement of metal resources such as nickel, chromium, and cobalt from around the worldFerrous Scrap Team: Domestic sales and export of steel scrapFuels & Materials Team: Handling of steel materials such as graphite electrodes and refractories, fuel, etc.
SCRAP
01
Scrap (steelmaking raw material)
Iron Scrap
We deliver and sell steel scrap to electric furnace manufacturers both domestically and abroad, mainly Daido Steel. We also handle waste scrap generated from dismantling sites and processing scrap generated from production plants.
Stainless Scrap
Scrap of alloy steel containing 10.5% or more of chromium as a main component of iron. It is mainly used as a raw material for SUS300 stainless steel containing nickel and SUS400 stainless steel containing chromium.
High Alloy Steel Scrap
Scrap containing nickel, chromium, molybdenum, niobium, tungsten, and titanium, etc., and used as a raw material for high-alloy products used in materials for automobiles, ships, plants, and aircraft.
FERROALLOY
02
Ferroalloy
It is an additives for removing impurities in steel and enhancing properties such as strength and toughness.
Chromium (Cr)
Added to enhance corrosion/wear resistance of steel. They are imported mainly from South America, Europe, India, and other countries.
Molybdenum (Mo)
Added to improve strength and toughness of steel. South America, North America, and China are the main production countries.
Silicon（Si）
It is mainly used as a deoxidizer and reductant, primarily imported from China, Europe, Brazil, and Southeast Asia.
Manganese (Mn)
Used as deoxidizer and desulfurizer for molten steel. Major production countries include South America, India, and Australia.
FUELS & MATERIALS
03
Fuels & Materials (graphite electrodes, refractories, fuel, etc.)
We sell steelmaking materials, fuels, etc. to Daido Steel and other domestic electric furnace manufacturers. We are working day by day to maintain our strength behind the plant operation by handling products that are indispensable to it.
Typical products examples
Graphite Electrode
We mainly handle imported electrodes for electric furnaces and smelting furnaces. The source of imports is China, France, Spain, etc.
Refractory
Our products range from refractory materials such as electric furnace and regular and irregular shapes of ladles, surface plate bricks, and alumina to specially molten flux.
Fuel
We purchase heavy oil, diesel oil, high-pressure gas, lubricating oil, etc. from the vendor or trading company and sell them.
Steelmaking Materials and Auxiliary Materials
Steel making materials: Mold stamping frame, heat insulating board, heat insulating material for molten steel, etc. Auxiliary materials: A wide variety of products including carbonized materials and fluorescent stones.
