Ferro Boron

Ferro Boron is a ferroalloy produced by alloying boron with iron, used as a micro-alloying additive in steel production. It significantly improves hardness, wear resistance, and grain refinement even at very low addition levels.

Ferro Boron is essential for HSLA steel, structural steel, tool steel, and automotive steel,
