The melting point of Ferrochrome (FeCr) varies depending on its carbon and chromium content.
Here are typical melting ranges for different grades:
High Carbon Ferrochrome (HC FeCr, ~6–8% C): 1,350–1,650°C (2,462–3,002°F)
Medium Carbon Ferrochrome (MC FeCr, ~1–4% C): 1,400–1,650°C (2,552–3,002°F)
Low Carbon Ferrochrome (LC FeCr, <1% C): 1,600–1,700°C (2,912–3,092°F)
The presence of carbon lowers the melting point, so high-carbon FeCr melts at a lower temperature compared to low-carbon FeCr.
