O ogaumu vevela o minerale e masani ona faʻaaogaina mo le faʻamamaina o ores, reductants ma isi mea mata mo ogaumu eletise, e taulaʻi i le gaosiga o ituaiga eseese o uʻamea faʻavae, e pei o le ferrosilicon, fale gaosi oloa, ferromanganese, ferrochrome, ferrotungsten, silicomanganese alloys, ma ferronickel. , ma isi, o loʻo faʻaaogaina lautele i alamanuia metallurgical e faʻaleleia ai le faʻatinoga o mea uʻamea.

O le ogaumu vevela minerale faʻaonaponei faʻaaogaina le ituaiga ogaumu atoa, o meafaigaluega autu e aofia ai le ogaumu tino, maualalo le asu o le asu, faʻaogaina o le asu, puʻupuʻu upega, eletise eletise, faʻaogaina o le eletise, faʻaogaina o le paʻu mai le uʻamea, ogaumu pito i lalo ole faʻamafanafanaina, transformer ma isi. .
