Product Description

Ferrochromium (Ferrochrome) Product Introduction

I. Product Overview

Ferrochromium is a master alloy of iron and chromium with a minimum chromium content of 45.0% and a maximum of 95.0% by mass, obtained by reduction from the corresponding raw materials. Chromium is chemically stable and highly corrosion-resistant, making ferrochromium widely used in metallurgy, chemical engineering, cast iron, refractories, and high-tech applications.

Based on carbon content, ferrochromium is classified into the following categories: High Carbon Ferrochromium (carbon 4%~10%), Medium Carbon Ferrochromium (carbon 0.5%~4%), Low Carbon Ferrochromium (carbon 0.15%~0.50%), and Extra-Low Carbon Ferrochromium (carbon ≤0.06%). The chromium content of ferrochromium generally ranges from 55% to 75%.

II. Product Classification

Category	Carbon Content Range	Key Characteristics
High Carbon Ferrochromium (HC FeCr)	4.0% ~ 10%	Higher carbon content, relatively lower cost; suitable for ball bearing steel, tool steel, etc.
Medium Carbon Ferrochromium (MC FeCr)	0.5% ~ 4.0%	Excellent overall performance; suitable for alloy structural steel
Low Carbon Ferrochromium (LC FeCr)	0.15% ~ 0.50%	Low carbon content; suitable for stainless steel, acid-resistant steel, and other low-carbon steels
Extra-Low Carbon Ferrochromium (ELC FeCr)	≤ 0.06%	Extremely low carbon content; suitable for high-quality stainless steel and specialty steels

III. Grades and Chemical Composition

Ferrochromium is divided into extra-low carbon, low carbon, medium carbon, and high carbon categories based on carbon content. The following are the main grades and chemical compositions (referenced to GB/T 5683-2024):

Notes:
The manganese content of each batch of high carbon ferrochromium shall be analyzed by the supplier.
Medium and low carbon ferrochromium is assessed on a basis of 60% chromium content, while high carbon ferrochromium is assessed on a basis of 50% chromium content.
Chromium, silicon, carbon, and phosphorus content must be determined for each batch of ferrochromium.
The above data are referenced to GB/T 5683-2024. Specific indicators can be adjusted according to customer requirements.
