Leading Ferroalloy Products Low Carbon Ferrochrome Ferrochrome For Steelmaking Raw Material
Ferrochrome is an alloy composed primarily of iron and chromium. It is produced by smelting chromite ore, which is a mineral containing chromium, along with iron ore and other additives such as carbon or silicon. The smelting process takes place in electric arc furnaces, where the chromite ore and other raw materials are heated at high temperatures to produce a molten metal.
The lower the carbon content of ferrochrome, the more difficult it is to smelt, the higher the power consumption, and the higher the cost. Ferrochrome with a carbon content of less than 2% is suitable for smelting stainless steel, acid-resistant steel and other low-carbon chromium steels. Ferrochrome with a carbon content of more than 4% is commonly used to make ball bearing steel and steel for auto parts.
Ferrochrome function
1.Ferro chrome has significant change of steel corrosion resistance and inoxidizability.
2.Ferro chrome can improve the wear resistance and high temperature strength.
3.Ferro chrome provides a wide usage in foundry and steel industry applications.
Overall, ferrochrome plays a crucial role in the production of stainless steel and contributes to numerous industrial sectors that rely on durable, corrosion-resistant materials.

Applications
Ferro chromium has three functions in the steelmaking and casting industry.
1. Ferro chromium alloys can remove oxygen from molten steel in the steelmaking process, and other impurities such as sulfur and nitrogen in steel can also be removed with other ferroalloys.
2. Alloy additives. According to the composition requirements of the steel type, ferro chromium alloy elements are added to the steel to improve its performance of the steel.
3. As inoculant, ferro chromium alloy is added to molten iron before casting to improve the crystalline structure of cast iron.
4.High carbon ferrochromium and charge grade ferrochromium are used in large quantities as the charge for smelting stainless steel (AOD or VOD method) to reduce production costs.
5.Medium and low carbon ferrochrome is used in the production of medium and low carbon structural steel, carburized steel, gears, high pressure blower blades, valve plates, etc. Micro-carbon ferrochromium is used in the production of stainless steel, acid-resistant steel, heat-resistant steel and electrothermal alloys.
