Ferrochrome
Ferrochrome or ferrochromium (FeCr) is a type of ferroalloy, that is, an alloy of chromium and iron, generally containing 50 to 70% chromium by weight. Ferrochrome is produced by electric arc carbothermic reduction of chromite. Over 80% of the world’s ferrochrome is utilised in the production of stainless steel
Stainless steel depends on chromium for its appearance and resistance to corrosion. Average chrome content in stainless steel is approx. 18%. It is also used to add chromium to carbon steel.
Low carbon and medium carbon ferrochrome is used in the manufacture of special steels. Low carbon ferrochrome can be used to produce super alloys. High carbon ferrochrome (HC FeCr) contain between 4% and 9% of carbon, HC FeCr typically contains 60-70% in chromium content and 1-3% silicon.
Low carbon ferrochrome (LC FeCr), with a carbon content below 0.5%, is a ferroalloy used to regulate the ratio of chromium in steel production without adding carbon and other unwanted ingredients. It is also used by the super alloys industries.

Ferrochrome is generally classified by the amount of carbon and chrome it contains. Medium carbon ferrochrome (MC FeCr), with a carbon content of between 0.5-4%, is used in the foundry industry as well as in steelmaking plants where refining capacity is limited but low silicon content is desired.
