Ferro Chrome
Ferro Chrome
Ferrochrome (FeCr) is a crucial iron-chromium alloy, containing 50-70% chromium, produced by reducing chromite ore in high-temperature electric arc furnaces. It serves as the primary source of chromium for stainless steel, imparting corrosion resistance, hardness, and wear resistance to steels, with various grades (high-carbon, low-carbon) tailored for different applications in stainless, alloy steels, and foundry industries.
