OUR PRODUCTS
Granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS)
is obtained by rapidly cooling liquid slag with water or steam. After grinding, it becomes an active binder, which is used as an additive to cement (CEM III), increasing the strength and frost resistance of concrete. Granulated slag is also used to produce building and insulation materials.
Metallurgical slag is a by-product of iron and steel production, containing oxides of calcium, silicon, aluminum and other elements. Its processing provides a number of advantages:
It is used as granulated or crushed stone material in the construction of roads and foundations.
It is applicable in the cement and concrete industries as an additive or filler.
It is environmentally beneficial: it reduces the consumption of natural resources and the carbon footprint.
For foundries
UAB Siras cooperates with various foundries around the world to provide them with the necessary raw materials. We select the best quality cast iron products and cast iron shards for foundries. Raw materials are selected according to company requirements, including the high content of carbon (up to 4%) and silicon (up to 3%), necessary for the gray casting process. Our cast iron products and shards contain 90% more iron, with low slag, phosphorus and sulphur. This contributes to the production of high-quality end products for foundries.
In addition, UAB Siras supplies high-phosphorus cast iron to order, providing foundries with savings of up to 60% on raw material costs. In this context, the raw material we supply for foundries is different from ordinary scrap and ensures equally high quality. Thanks to its innovative approach, UAB Siras provides a stable range and has become a reliable supplier for foundries around the world.
Cast Iron Skulls
UAB Siras supplies cast iron shards to foundries worldwide, meeting the needs of the most demanding customers. In today's market environment, it is very difficult to find gray iron scrap of equally high quality. Many industries face a shortage of raw materials and are forced to use expensive cast iron billets to meet production needs. However, UAB Siras works around the clock with foundries around the world to find the most suitable material. Our pig iron slag is the ideal solution for foundries using gray iron due to its high carbon (up to 4%) and silicon (up to 3%) content, as well as very low phosphorus and sulfur content. Our material has a minimum amount of slag, which means that it has high regenerative properties during the casting process.
Pig Iron Skulls
We supply pig iron shards to industries that specialize in the production of high quality cast iron. They usually require very low silicon content to meet their own requirements. UAB Siras provides high-quality iron shards with a carbon content of approximately 4% and a low silicon content (up to 0.30), as well as low phosphorus and sulfur content. Our cast iron shards can replace traditional pig iron billets, which can provide up to 40% cost savings, helping to increase profits for foundries.
Ferroalloys
We offer a wide range of alternative products for ferroalloys, including silicon, used in steel and foundry applications. Our high-carbon silicon is cost-effective because it already contains carbon and silicon, eliminating the need for additional carbon costs. Moreover, it is 30% cheaper than traditional ferrosilicon, which represents a significant saving in production. Our ferroalloys contain less than 50% iron and a high percentage of additional elements such as manganese, aluminum, chromium, or silicon. They are widely used in steel production and alloy manufacturing. We provide a variety of shapes, sizes, and packaging options, allowing you to select the alloy that best suits your needs. At UAB Siras, our company offers a broad range of ferroalloys, ranging from ferroaluminum to ferromanganese. We collaborate with experienced experts to curate the best product portfolio. We consistently update our offerings and will keep you informed about new products and services.
Carbon Anode Buts
UAB Siras supplies scrap carbon anodes to foundries as a cost-effective alternative to foundry coke. With the increasing prices of coke, foundries can benefit from purchasing cheaper raw materials for carbon anodes, resulting in savings of over 25% in costs. Additionally, due to its high caloric content, the amount of carbon anode used can be reduced. The carbon anodes consist of 95-97% carbon, whereas traditional foundry coke contains 77-85% carbon. This means that 1 ton of anode scrap has the same calorific value as 1.4 tons of traditional coke, leading to cost savings for buyers while maintaining effective usage.
At UAB Siras, we not only export anode scrap directly from Ukraine but also provide supply from Malaysia and select Middle Eastern countries. Furthermore, we collaborate with Chinese exporters of carbon anodes to establish partnerships with more aluminum mills and secure a greater direct supply of anode scrap.Although the sulfur content in the anode scrap depends on the calcined petroleum coke used in its production, the ash content typically experiences a slight increase. However, the ash content in anode scrap is significantly lower than that of foundry coke, while its calorific value remains 1.3-1.5 times higher. Therefore, when sulfur content can be controlled, anode scrap becomes an ideal fuel for smelting scrap materials.
