Oxygen is a component of metal processing, and is used to replace or enrich air, ultimately increasing combustion efficiency in both ferrous and non-ferrous metal production.

A carrier and purge gas in steel production, nitrogen is used to prevent oxidation and can be used in the heat-treating process.

A key component of stainless steel refining, argon helps to prevent oxidation of molten steel as is used as a stirring agent.

Hydrogen is used to prevent oxidation and is the key component in the heat treating process.

Lower your material costs, produce cleaner metals and increase productivity with AOD.

Used in foundries, mini mills and stainless steel mills, our gas injection and Supersonic direct injection processes lower costs and improve furnace productivity.

Our Dilute Oxygen Combustion system helps convert your furnace air-fuel burners into oxy-fuel burners — increasing productivity, and decreasing fuel consumption, operating costs and emissions.

From annealing and brazing to sintering and carburizing, our nitrogen and hydrogen-based heat-treating processes are low in cost, high in productivity, and help your operators precisely meet specifications.

Our hot oxygen system rapidly burns hard to combust materials and easily preheats oxygen to high temperatures at point of use.

We do more than provide industrial gases, technologies and applications to the metal production industry. We will help you optimize every step of your process. From consultation to implementation and use, we offer a range of industrial services that help you monitor and manage your gas supply and help you make a better product.
