High Carbon Ferro Chrome
Chromium steel additive
EAF melting use
Email: sale@zanewmetal.com
Product Overview
High Carbon Ferro Chrome is a chromium ferroalloy used in steelmaking as a primary chromium source, especially in stainless steel and chromium alloy steel production. It is produced by smelting chromite ore with carbon in an electric arc furnace. The result is an alloy with high chromium content and a higher carbon range, supplied mainly as lumps for direct furnace charging.
In steelmaking, high carbon ferro chrome is commonly applied during the melting stage, particularly in EAF routes. Chromium addition at this stage supports base composition building and helps reach the required chromium level efficiently. Carbon input is part of the alloy itself, so carbon balance and refining strategy are usually planned together with chromium yield.
High carbon ferro chrome is mainly used for:
- chromium addition in stainless steel melting
- chromium input for chromium alloy steel production
- EAF steelmaking where chromium yield needs to be stable
The alloy is typically supplied in lump form. Lump size consistency matters in steel plants because it affects charging efficiency and melting speed. Stable lump form also helps reduce segregation during storage and handling.
In stainless steel production, high carbon ferro chrome is often used as the main chromium source, while carbon control is managed through refining steps such as AOD or other decarburization routes. For carbon-sensitive grades, medium carbon or low carbon ferro chrome may be required instead.
