Low Carbon Ferro Chrome
Ferro Chrome is an alloy of chromium & iron containing 60% – 70% chromium by weight. Addition of chromium improves the strength and yield point of steel and reduces elongation insignificantly. The presence of Chromium in carbon steels improves their hardness and wear resistance. Ferro Chrome is made from a mixture of Chromite Ore & Iron in our electric arc furnace. Most of the Low Carbon Ferro Chrome is used in the production of Stainless steel.
Our production facility in Oman, Smelts through silicothermic reaction of Ferro Silicon Chrome (FeSiCr) metal and Chrome ore, resulting in the Low Carbon Ferrochrome (LC FeCr). This reaction required for liquid chromium, in the smelting furnace (EAF); Ferro Silicon Chrome as liquid or solid metal, in a reducing furnace (SAF). Our furnaces have been updated with the latest technology in the industry recently.
