Ferro Chrome is a ferroalloy produced by smelting chromite ore in submerged arc furnaces. It is the primary source of chromium in steel making and is essential for improving corrosion resistance, hardness, strength, and wear resistance of steel.
Ferro Chrome is mainly used in stainless steel and alloy steel production, making it a critical raw material for both domestic consumption and international trade.
Grades of Ferro Chrome
High Carbon Ferro Chrome (HC FeCr)
Chromium (Cr): 60 – 70 %
Carbon (C): 6.0 – 8.0 %
Low Carbon Ferro Chrome (LC FeCr)
Chromium (Cr): 60 – 70 %
Carbon (C): ≤ 0.10 %
