Product Details

Ferrochrome Lump 57%-65% For Steelmaking Alloying Agent

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 composition of ferrochrome can vary depending on the desired properties and specific application. Typically, it contains around 50-70% chromium, with the remainder being iron and other elements.

Ferrochrome function

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.

Applications

Stainless Steel Production: The primary use of ferrochrome is as an alloying element in the production of stainless steel. Stainless steel is widely used in various industries, including construction, automotive, aerospace, energy, and household appliances. Ferrochrome enhances the corrosion resistance, hardness, and strength of stainless steel, making it suitable for applications where durability and resistance to oxidation and corrosion are essential.

Welding Electrodes: Ferrochrome is sometimes added to welding electrodes to improve their performance. It helps enhance the strength and corrosion resistance of the weld joint, ensuring high-quality and durable welds.
