Tungsten (derived from the Swedish phrase “tung sten”, meaning heavy stone) is a hard, brittle, steel-grey metal that is difficult to work unless in the very pure state, when it is more malleable and ductile.
Titanium minerals are a common natural form of TiO2. Main deposits are found in Australia and Ukraine. LKAB Minerals handle Rutile, Ilmenite and Leucoxene.
Tantalum is a rare, hard, blue-grey, dense, lustrous metal. It is renowned for its high corrosion resistance. This metal is a very hard, malleable, ductile, easily fabricated and highly conductive of heat and electricity.
LKAB Minerals offer fine Magnesitic Talc for various applications such as agricultural and horticultural, polymer processing, coating applications and the ceramics industry.
Molybdenum is a silvery-white metal with one of the highest melting points of any element and has one of the lowest coefficients of thermal expansion amongst metals.
LKAB Minerals offer hematite products for foundries, ballast and concrete as well as for other uses.
Feldspar is the group of minerals we distinguish by the presence of aluminum (Al) and silica (SiO4) in their chemistry.
CenoSpheres are hollow glass spheres less than a millimetre in size with a density lower than that of water.
LKAB Minerals’ Magnetite is used in industrial application such as heavy media separation, ammonia catalysts, aluminothermic welding and slag conditioner.
Iron oxide is a chemical compound made up of oxygen and iron, most abundant in the earth’s crust in the form of Hematite (Fe2O3). It also exists in the form of Magnetite (Fe3O4).
Our customers use MagnaChem as an iron source to produce inorganic coagulants like iron chloride, iron sulphate and ferric aluminium sulphate.
Fine dried Magnetite, produced from natural iron oxide, is used in foundry as a sand additive to prevent surface defects of the casted metal. Another use for Magnetite is for heat storage or as an iron source for iron catalysts.
