FeCr:
Ferrochrome or Ferrochromium (FeCr) is a type of ferroalloy, that is, an alloy between chromium and iron, generally containing 50% to 70% chromium by weight. The largest application of ferrochrome is dedicated to production of steel, especially the production of stainless steel with chromium content of 10 to 20%, which is the main application of ferrochrome. Over 80% of the world’s ferrochrome is utilized in the production of stainless steel. The average chrome content in stainless steel is approximately 18%. Ferro chrome is also used when it is desired to add chromium to carbon steel. This ferro alloy is divided into two groups of low carbon and high carbon.
- High carbon ferrochrome
- The carbon ferrochrome
- Low carbon ferrochrome
