What is Ferrochrome? Ferrochrome is a kind of ferroalloy composed of chromium and iron, which is an important alloy additive for steelmaking. Chromite for smelting ferrochrome is generally required to contain 40-50% Cr2O3, and the ratio of chromium to iron is greater than 2.8. Ferrochrome can be divided into high carbon ferrochrome (4~8% carbon), medium carbon ferrochrome (0.5~4% carbon), low carbon ferrochrome (~% carbon), micro carbon ferrochrome (% carbon) and ultra-fine carbon ferrochrome (less than % carbon) according to the carbon content. Use of ferrochrome Ferrochrome is the most important raw material for stainless steel production. It is mainly used to produce stainless steel, ball-bearing steel, tool steel, nitrided steel, heat-strengthened steel, quenched and tempered steel, carburized steel, and hydrogen-resistant steel. This is because chromium plays a decisive role in stainless steel. There is only one element that determines the properties of stainless steel, which is
