Metal Production

BOC is proud to supply steel and non-ferrous metal manufacturers with industrial gases that help skyscrapers soar, planes fly, trains run, and ships sail. We offer a wide range of services that include the design, build, start-up and support of applications equipment. And we provide everything from cylinders to on-site systems.
BOC’s industrial gases are used extensively in metal production to improve quality, lower cost, improve energy efficiency, deliver environmental benefits, and improve business productivity.

Direct Oxygen Injection

Inject your business with one of our state-of-the-art systems that lowers costs and improves productivity in your electric arc furnaces (EAF) and cupolas.

Oxygen Enhanced Combustion

Our Dilute Oxygen Combustion (DOC) technology is an award-winning technology that represents the next generation of flameless oxygen-enhanced combustion for steel reheating.

Inerting for Metal Production

Our Laminar Barrier Inerting (LBI) technology provides inert atmospheres in open-ended enclosures, such as induction furnaces.

Heat Treatment for Metal Production

BOC will work with you to produce the most durable metals for today’s demands. We offer a diverse portfolio of heat-treating gases and applications that can improve the quality and appearance of your metals, help you make highly reproducible parts, and give you more control over your process.

Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (3D printing) is a technology that allows manufacturers to produce three-dimensional parts from polymers or metals.

Aluminium Die Cooling

Temperature control in aluminum extrusion is an important step in producing quality products and maximising productivity potential.

Aluminium Melting

BOC has developed and commercialised several proprietary oxygen-injection techniques, oxy-fuel combustion systems, and aluminum melting burners that enhance the productivity and efficiency of aluminum melting furnaces.

Aluminium Dross Cooling

Aluminum dross can form on the surface of aluminum and the weight may vary from 1% to 6% or more of total aluminum production. Dross may contain between 18 to 80% of valuable aluminum.

Sub-zero Parts Freezing

BOC's sub-zero freezers use liquid nitrogen to cool down parts inside a treatment chamber. The liquid gas is sprayed through fine nozzles into the chamber, where it evaporates quickly and thus lowers the temperature.
