Paul Lambert (asker) Mar 29, 2009:
Thank you for your message, Thomas.

It appears from the text that we are talking about some kind of metal or metal alloys of various types and customised grades. I am afraid that these texts as I received them do not tell much more than that.

Could you say something more about the context? What sort of thing is produced through this process?
