HIGHER GRADE LOW CARBON FERRO CHROME

Higher Grade Ferro Chrome are specialized alloys with more than 70% Cr (Chrome) content and extra low carbon and Silicon, used primarily in stainless steel production.

Key Characteristics :

1. Defination

Higher Grade Ferro Chrome contains a very low percentage of carbon and Silicon, typically below 0.03%. This low carbon and silicon content is crucial for applications where carbon and silicon can adversely affect the properties of the final stainless-steel product.

2. Applications

  • Stainless Steel Production:
    Higher Grade Ferro Chrome is used to produce high-quality stainless steels, especially those requiring excellent corrosion resistance and ductility.
  • Specialty Alloys:
    It is also utilized in producing specialty alloys where low carbon and silicon content is necessary to meet specific mechanical and corrosion resistance properties.

BENEFITS :

  • Improved Corrosion Resistance:
    Lower carbon levels help prevent carbide precipitation, which can lead to intergranular corrosion.

  • Enhanced Ductility:
    Lower silicon content helps maintain desired properties in the final steel, reducing issues like brittleness or undesirable reactivity.
