Low Carbon Ferro Chrome (LCFCr)

LOW CARBON FERRO CHROME (LCFCr)

Ferrochrome (FeCr), also known as Ferrochromium, is a ferro alloy with chromium and ferro as its main components. It usually contains 50% to 70% chromium. Mainly used in the steel industry. Low carbon ferro chrome (LC FeCr) is produced by reducing chrome ore with Ferro Silicon Chromium. Usually, the chromium content is at least 60%. The carbon content sometimes varies from 0.03% to 0.15%.

Low carbon ferro chrome applications

1. Most of the ferro chrome produced worldwide is used in manufacturing stainless steel.

Stainless steel depends on chromium for its appearance and its resistance to corrosion. Around 18% of chrome is used in per unit content of stainless steel.

2. Foundry-grade ferrochrome containing around 62-66% chromium and almost 5% carbon is used for producing cast irons.

3. Our good quality high carbon ferrochrome is used in the manufacturing of ball-bearing steels, tool steels as well as other alloy steels.

4. Ferrochrome alloy is also used when more chromium is needed to be added to carbon steel.

5. Apart from making stainless steel, low carbon ferro chrome is also used in the manufacturing of acid-resistant steels.
