Products and services Company Contact Downloads Language Home Company About VDM Metals Production capabilities Production capabilities Melting and remelting, forging and rolling, peeling, grinding, turning and drawing – at VDM Metals all of these important stages of production are found under one roof. In this way, we also provide assurance of reproducible quality and efficient processes. Melting and remelting In our melting shop in Unna, Germany, our nickel materials and special stainless steels are melted in an electric arc furnace and then undergo vacuum treatment. A ladle furnace is available for the secondary metallurgical treatment. Casting takes place in a vertical continuous caster or by ingot casting. In addition to the conventional technology of open melting, we also use vacuum induction melting (VIM) furnaces in both our German melting plant and in our melting plant in Florham Park, New Jersey, which is operated by VDM Metals USA. The homogeneity and purity of the materials can be enhanced by remelting in electroslag remelting (ESR) or vacuum arc remelting (VAR) furnaces. Ingots and slabs function as pre-materials VDM uses cast and/or remelted slabs or ingots function as pre-material for the production of our sheets and plates, strips, rods, bars, forgings and wires.
