UpGraded Chromite (UGC) Production

Welcome To The Pro-Or Mining HUB On AGORACOM

The Junction of Resources and Technologies.

Dear Agoracom Family,

I want to thank all of you for your patience with us over the past 48 hours and apologize for what was admittedly a botched launch of our new site.

As you can see, we have reverted back to the previous version of the site while we address multiple forum functionality flaws that inexplicably made their way into the launch.

To this end:

1.We have identified 8 fundamental but easily fixable flaws that will be corrected in the coming week, so that you can continue to use the forums exactly as you've been accustomed to.

2.Additionally we will also be implementing a couple of design improvements to "tighten up" the look and feel of the forums.

Have a great Sunday, especially those of you like me that are celebrating Orthodox Easter ... As well as those of you who are also like me and mourning another Maple Leafs Game 7 exit ... Ugggh!

Sincerely,

George et al

UpGraded Chromite (UGC) Production

(Source company profile)

Background

Pro-Or’s patented chromite processing technology yields an UpGraded Chromite (UGC), primarily for use in stainless steel manufacturing.

Chromium (Cr) is primarily used in stainless steel production, giving the steel its 'stainless' properties - essentially corrosion resistance. Presently, chromium is added to stainless steel in the form of ferrochromium, an alloy of iron and chromium.

Ferrochromium is costly to produce because it requires an energy-intensive process. Pro-Or’s UGC production process is substantially lower cost, yet has been shown to create a product containing approximately 91% Cr, substantially richer than the highest quality ferrochromium currently available on the market, which contains 80% Cr. This product could therefore potentially replace ferrochromium altogether in the production of stainless steel.

Outlook

INRS will begin producing samples of UGC in the coming months, which will then allow Pro-Or to contact potential UGC users and begin developing the market, with the help of GM and Amalgamet.
