Ferronickel
Overview
SMM's ferronickel is manufactured by processing ore imported from Indonesia and New Caledonia using SMM's advanced technologies. It is used as a raw material of stainless steel. Since stainless steel has a beautiful luster and is superior in acid and heat resistance, it is used for household utensils, such as spoons or forks and automobiles, as well as for construction materials for buildings or houses, or for various industrial fields such as chemistry, food and brewing, etc. Its application range is expected to continue to develop.
