Introduction
Alloy making is becoming a crucial part of the mine to magnet supply chain with the green revolution requiring rare earth permanent magnets for wind turbines and electric vehicles.
With the demand of these special alloys it is key that more people are educated about the industry and consider a career in alloy making.
Our operators retain these skills throughout their careers by focussing on melting techniques requiring precision and attention to detail.
About This Book
Alloy making for Dummies, an LCM special edition, is designed to take you through the fundamentals of manufacturing an alloy.
From the skills that are required in the factory to the equipment which helps this process come to life. This guide will highlight the advantages of alloy making and even better, educate you so you are able to better understand the building blocks of how an alloy is made. This is a complex and technical process, but LCM have created an analogy in order for you to understand the process easily. This analogy is something that you can relate to; making a cake. Either you are a keen baker, or you’ve tried it once and failed which means you could both learn how to make an alloy and a cake – it’s a win-win situation. This guide will take you through six stages of alloy making, Environmental Social Governance (ESG) and Personal Protective equipment (PPE) and highlight the similarities with making a cake. You can also expect to learn the four main steps of the production of alloys and things to be mindful of when alloy making from contamination of material to using the wrong ingredients.
