Cast Tungsten Carbide made in EU

Have you ever heard the saga about the Gordian Knot? Nowadays we use this parable to describe when someone is able to solve a really difficult issue in an unconventional and easy way. But what is the connection to the world of refractory processing?

When BSM started to develop a new way for “green” processing of refractory metal melts, we decided to adapt a method called “Microreactor Technology” because of its superior energy efficiency, yield and flexibility. This method is established for the production of small volumes of for example pharmaceutical products. But how to solve the conflict between “Microreactor” and “Tonnage” production? This has been our “Gordian Knot”. Well, the solution is as simple as can be. Based on ultra fast processing, automization and “numbering up” of the micro-devices, BSM managed to scale the production from grams up to tons. We are sure this is not the end of the journey. More to come.
