Ferro chrome is one of the main agents in ferro alloys industries. Ferro chrome has a high resistance properties of corrosion, thermal, wear, fatigue and oxidation that is used in stainless steel industries.
There are three types of ferro chrome:
1- Low carbon (C=%0.03-%0.15)
Low carbon ferro chrome has corrosion and oxidation resistance properties and is used in stainless steel industries.
2- Medium carbon (C=up to 4%)
3- High carbon (C=6%-8%)
High carbon ferro chrome has high hardness, strength and wear resistant properties that is used in ball bearing and tools productions.
HC FeCr is primarily used as a raw material in stainless steel production, where it imparts hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance to the final product. The high carbon content makes it ideal for use in applications requiring high levels of abrasion resistance. It also contributes to the formation of carbides in stainless steel, which further increases its hardness.
