Electro Metallurgical Plant at Alloy on U. S. 21-60, Fayette County, W. Va.
Date:
1945/05
Description:
View of the Electro Metallurgical Company Plant at Alloy, W. Va. ' At Alloy, in the Kanawha River Valley in West Virginia, is located one of the ferro-alloy plants of Electro Metallurgical company. Here, ores from the far places of the earth are compounded and smelted in electric furnaces to produce ferro-alloys of chromium, manganese, silicon, vanadium, tungsten, and zirconium -- essential in making iron, steel, and other metals. One of the important products of this plant is low-carbon ferrochrome, which is used in the manufacture of stainless steel for thousands of uses in industry and in the home. A forerunner of the Alloy plant, farther up the river at Glen Ferris, started smelting ferrochrome as early as 1896. Several buildings of the metallurgical works at Alloy are pictured in the color photograph on the reverse. In the photograph can be seen the tall chimneys of the power plant and the brightly lighted windows furnace rooms.'
