Tech/Engineering - Metallurgy / Casting
Swedish term or phrase: slipspån/slipmull
Råmaterial typ A

I denna grupp ingår material som är oorganiska. Materialet är ofta så kallade primära råvaror för metallframställning. Alla material i denna grupp innehåller låga halter av flyktiga ämnen. Det betyder att vid behandling av denna typ av råmaterial produceras normalt en produkt som är metall och en slagg. Slaggen är, i de fall den är avfall, också justerad så att den får en glasig karaktär för att göra den lakningsresistent. Stoftmängden ut ur själva processen blir förhållandevis liten eftersom den bara består av material som rycks med gasen. Exempel på råmaterial i denna grupp är järnmalm, krommalm, manganmalm, ilmenit, torkade slipspån och slaggbildare såsom kalksten och sand.

Then there is a table with values and the term used there is "slipmull" instead of "slipspån", så I take it the two are synonymous.

My question is: do they refer to grindings/shavings? And if so, are they really synonymous?
