Ferro Chrome
Ferro chrome, also known as ferro chromium (FeCr), is a ferro alloy composed primarily of chromium (Cr) and iron (Fe), typically containing 50% to 70% chromium. It is produced by reducing chromite ore with coke in electric arc furnaces at temperatures around 2800°C. Over 80% of global production is consumed in stainless steel manufacturing.

Key Applications
| Industry | Function |
|---|---|
| Stainless Steel | Provides corrosion resistance and durability (essential raw material) |
| Alloy Steels | Adds strength, hardness, and wear resistance |
| Superalloys | Used in high-temperature applications (aerospace, power generation) |
| Foundry | Improves cast iron properties |
Typical Specifications
| Grade | Chromium (Cr) | Carbon (C) | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| High-Carbon (HC) FeCr | 60–70% | 4–9% | Stainless steel production (main grade) |
| Medium-Carbon (MC) FeCr | 60–70% | 0.5–4% | Foundry industry, steelmaking |
| Low-Carbon (LC) FeCr | 60–70% | 0.5% max | Special steels, superalloys |
