They are mainly used to add chromium to steel to improve its hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature resistance.
Based on different carbon contents, ferrochrome can be divided into:
High-carbon ferrochrome (C 6–8%)
Medium-carbon ferrochrome (C 1–4%)
Low-carbon ferrochrome (C ≤0.5%)
Micro-carbon ferrochrome (C ≤0.15%)
