PSM upstream facilities are equipped with a blend of high-tech, state-of-the-art setups and conventional European-origin melting techniques to address nearly all the requirements of special steel manufacturing.
Our advanced Vacuum Melting setups, Conventional Electric Arc and Ladle Refining furnaces, Vacuum Degassing Plant, and modern casting systems are designed to deliver precise and reliable results. This diverse array of technologies gives PSM the capability to meet varying customer needs, allowing us to offer smaller minimum order quantities (MOQs) for different lot sizes. This flexibility ensures that PSM can cater to the special steel requirements of customers worldwide, providing tailored solutions that are both efficient and cost-effective.
Our UPSTREAM facility includes
Our Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) facility, equipped with both bottom and top ingot pouring techniques, is capable of producing electrodes weighing up to 8 metric tons. The re-melting and casting processes, conducted under vacuum, enable efficient degassing of the melt and precise control over alloy composition, resulting in a clean and homogeneous final product.
This process offers several distinct advantages:
We operate two 15 MT Electric Arc Furnaces designed for conventional melting, decarburization, and dephosphorization processes during steel production. These furnaces enable precise control over the chemical composition of the steel, ensuring high-quality output. The Electric Arc Furnaces are integral to our steelmaking operations, providing reliable and efficient solutions for producing a wide range of steel grades. With their advanced capabilities, they play a critical role in achieving the desired steel properties while maintaining optimal production efficiency.
PSM operates a 15 MT Induction Melting Furnace for the conventional melting of carbon and structural steels. This furnace utilizes advanced induction technology to achieve precise control over the melting process, ensuring consistent quality and optimal composition. It is a key component in our steel production capabilities, enabling the efficient and reliable production of various carbon and structural steel grades.
Our newly commissioned Electro-Slag Re-Melting (ESR) plant, with upto 35 MT capacity, has been integrated into our system. This advanced technique involves the re-melting of consumable electrodes, where liquid metal droplets are refined through contact with molten slag. This process produces a cleaner, more uniform alloy with minimal segregation.
A secondary refining Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) unit, with a 5 metric ton capacity, is employed to enhance the cleanliness and refine the structure of standard air-melted or vacuum induction melted ingots and electrodes. This is achieved through continuous re-melting using an electric arc under vacuum. The process is critical for producing special steels and superalloys designed for high-integrity applications, such as those in the aerospace industries, where cleanliness, homogeneity, improved fatigue resistance, and fracture toughness are essential.
Key advantages of the VAR process include:
Absence of slag
Use of an inert heat source (electric arc)
Controlled solidification in an inert atmosphere and mold
Low gas content (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen)
Excellent macro cleanliness
Superior micro cleanliness
Reduced segregation
