Nonferrous Metal (except Aluminum) Smelting and Refining
Smelters and refiners of copper, lead, zinc, nickel, tin and other nonferrous metals receive scrap, ore concentrates and secondary materials, melt in furnaces, refine to specification, cast into ingots, billets or anodes, and ship to foundries and fabricators. Specialists convert customer purchase orders and material receipts into melt schedules, convert assays and melt data into refined batch plans, track furnace campaigns and refractory life, and maintain chain-of-custody and environmental logs while the metallurgist and furnace crew retain all decisions on chemistry adjustments, pouring and final certification.
