The use of technical gases is very widespread in the iron metallurgy industry. SOL can boast first-rate references in the field of both integral cycle and electrical steelworks. Among the most common applications:

• Oxygen converters
• Oxygen-based refining in arc furnaces
• Oxy-combustion burners supporting arc furnaces
• Post-combustion with oxygen in arc furnaces
• Oxy-combustion burners to heat ladle and converters
• Oxygen, argon and nitrogen for aod and vod converters
• Nitrogen and argon for the homogeneization of the baths
• Oxygen for cutting semi-manufactured goods
• Nitrogen and hydrogen for rebaking coils and othersemi-manufactured goods

SOL puts its experience and competence, documented by many applications, at the disposal of companies in the iron metallurgy industry by supplying them with all the equipment and expertise specific for each application. The first applications of SOL 's products go back to the Fifties. Drawing on what has been developed in the industry, new uses of technical gases have been created in many other fields.
