Ferrochromium

Ferrochromium is an alloy composed mainly of chromium and iron, produced by melting chromite ore with iron. It is primarily used as a raw material in making stainless steel and other corrosion-resistant alloys. The addition of ferrochromium to steel improves its strength, durability, and resistance to rust and tarnish. It is typically produced in electric arc furnaces and comes in different forms depending on its chromium content, such as high-carbon or low-carbon varieties. Overall, ferrochromium plays a vital role in manufacturing durable, high-quality steel products used in construction, appliances, and automotive industries.
