Micro Carbon Ferrochrome

The lower the carbon content of ferrochrome, the more difficult it is to smelt, the higher the power consumption, and the higher the cost. Ferrochrome with a carbon content of less than 2% is suitable for smelting stainless steel, acid-resistant steel and other low-carbon chromium steels. Ferrochrome with a carbon content of more than 4% is commonly used to make ball bearing steel and steel for auto parts.

Description

Application of Micro Carbon Ferrochrome

1. It is used as an alloying agent for circulating bead steel, tool steel and high-speed steel with high carbon content to improve the hardenability of steel and increase the wear resistance and hardness of steel.
2. It is used as an additive for cast iron to improve the grindability and hardness of cast iron, and at the same time make cast iron have good heat resistance;
3. Used as a slag-free method to produce silicon-chromium alloys and medium, low and micro-carbon ferrochromium and chromium-containing raw materials;
4. Used as a chromium-containing raw material for electrolytic production of metallic chromium; 5. It is used as raw material for smelting stainless steel by oxygen blowing method.

Introduction of Micro Carbon Ferrochrome

Micro-carbon ferrochrome: the carbon content ranges from 0.06 to 0.15%.

Micro-carbon ferrochrome is mainly used to produce stainless steel, wear-resistant steel, and heat-resistant steel.

Ferrochromium is an alloy of chromium and iron containing carbon, silicon, phosphorus and other elements.

The lower the carbon content of ferrochrome, the more difficult it is to smelt, the higher the power consumption, and the higher the cost. Ferrochrome with a carbon content of less than 2% is suitable for smelting stainless steel, acid-resistant steel and other low-carbon chromium steels. Ferrochrome with a carbon content of more than 4% is commonly used to make ball bearing steel and steel for auto parts.
