Metallurgical SHS Processes as a Route to Industrial-Scale Implementation: An Autoreview

Abstract

The paper addresses to the practical development of a novel process technology for large-tonnage SHS-production of alloying agents and master alloys–metallurgical SHS process technology. The suggested and tested technique is based on use of various metallurgically produced allows, including dusty wastes of ferroalloy plants. The replacement of high-purity starting powders by less expensive and accessible ferroalloys afforded for transition from existing laboratory-scale fabrication of SHS materials to large-tonnage SHS manufacture.
