Application of relevant Chrome types
High Carbon Ferrochrome (HCFeCr):
Ferrochrome, like ferromanganese, is classified by the amounts of carbon contained in the alloy. High Carbon Ferrochrome contains a minimum chromium content of 65 wt% and a maximum carbon content of 9wt.%. More than 80% of the world's ferrochrome production is used for the production of corrosion and heat resistant stainless steels, which can have a chromium content of more than 10.5wt.%.
Medium Carbon Ferrochrome (MCFeCr):
Ferrochrome alloy with a minimum Chromium content of 65wt.-% and a maximum carbon content of 2wt.-%.
Low Carbon Ferrochrome (LCFeCr):
Ferrochrome alloy with a minimum Chromium content of 60wt.-% and a maximum carbon content of 0.1wt.-%.
Nitrided Ferrochrome (NFeCr):
In stainless steels elements like Nickel can be substituted partly by Nitrited Ferrochrome to reduce production costs.
Chrome Metal briquettes (Chrome briqs):
Chrome metal is available in the form briquettes reducing dust loss and improving handling
Chrome Metal lumps (Chrome lumps):
Besides briquettes, Chromium metal can also be available in lumpy form.
