Product Description

Ferrochrome is a kind of ferroalloy with chromium and iron as main component and it is one of the main alloy agent in iron and steel industry. Ferro chrome contains chromium between 50% and 70%.

The ferrochrome is produced by electric arc melting of chromite, an iron magnesium chromium oxide and the most important chromium ore. Most ferrochrome is produced in South Africa, Kazakhstan and India, which have large domestic chromite resources. Increasing amounts are coming from Russia and China. Huatuo metallurgy as a main ferro chrome exporter has a great share in the international metallurgy market. Choose Huatuo Metallurgy is your best choice for your industry.

Chrome is mainly used to improve the antioxidation and corrosion resistance of steel to make the surface of steel after it is oxidized to form strong adhension oxide film. Then it stops being oxidized or decelerates being oxidized. Micro-carbon ferro chrome is applied to making stainless steel, acid-resistant steel and heat resistant steel.

Types of Ferrochromium

1. High-carbon ferrochrome

High-carbon ferrochrome is usually used as an alloying agent for ball steel (0.5%～1.45%Cr), tool steel, die steel (5%～12%Cr), and high-speed steel (3.8%～4.4%Cr), and can harden steel. Increase the wear resistance and hardness of steel.

2. Medium and low-carbon ferrochrome

Medium and low-carbon ferrochrome is used in the production of medium and low-carbon structural steel, carburizing steel, gears, high-pressure blower blades, valve plates, etc.

3. Micro-carbon ferrochrome
Micro-carbon ferrochrome is mainly used to produce stainless steel, wear-resistant steel, and heat-resistant steel.

The Specifications of Ferro Chrome

Application :
1. It is used as an alloying agent for circulating bead steel, tool steel and high-speed steel with high carbon content to improve the hardenability of steel and increase the wear resistance and hardness of steel.
2. It is used as an additive for cast iron to improve the grindability and hardness of cast iron, and at the same time make cast iron have good heat resistance;
3. Used as a slag-free method to produce silicon-chromium alloys and medium, low and micro-carbon ferrochromium and
chromium-containing raw materials;
4. Used as a chromium-containing raw material for electrolytic production of metallic chromium; 5. It is used as raw material for smelting stainless steel by oxygen blowing method.
