Strategic Metal Investments Ltd.
Profile: Strategic Metal Investments Ltd. is a diversified metal trading and marketing company. Our products include lithium, titanium, chromium, manganese, cobalt, gallium, boron, silicon, strontium, zirconium and molybdenum. Titanium is widely used in metal alloys due to its corrosion resistance and high strength-to-weight ratio. Titanium is often alloyed with iron aluminum, vanadium and molybdenum to produce alloys for aerospace applications in jet engines, missiles & spacecraft. cobalt is widely used in magnets and wear-resistant, high-strength alloys. Cobalt has also long been used as a pigment for glass, ceramics, inks and paints. Often produced as a by-product of copper and nickel mining, cobalt is found in cobaltite, erythrite, glaucodot & skutterdite ores. Silver has the highest electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity among the elements. Silver is produced as a by-product of copper, gold, lead and zinc from argentine, chlorargyrite & pyrargyrite ores. Bismuth is the most naturally diamagnetic of all metals. Primarily made as a by-product of lead, tin, silver, copper and tungsten, bismuth is increasingly used as a substitute for lead, due to the latter's toxicity.
