Ferrochrome is a kind of ferroalloy, it is mainly consist of chromium and iron elements. Its other names include ferrochrome Ferro Chrome LC FeCr. Generally ferrochrome containing 50-70% Cr by weight.

FeCr is produced through electric furnace. There are 2 production method. The first one is use coke, quartz ore or bauxite as materials. And the second method use silicon-chrome alloy and chromite and lime as materials. The production of silicochromium is similar to ferrosilicon methodprocess.

Ferrochrome is divided into high carbon ferrochrome (including charging grade ferrochrome), medium carbon ferrochrome, low carbon ferrochrome, micro carbon ferrochrome, etc. Which means HC, MC Ferrochrome Ferro chrome LC FeCr have different carbon contents. Other related models include silicon chromium alloy, ferrochrome nitride, etc.

Chromium is one of the important strategic materials. Its properties such as hardness, wear resistance, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance are particularly useful in the metallurgical industry, refractory materials and chemical industry.

In the metallurgical industry, chromite is raw material of ferrochrome alloys and metallic chromium. So, chromium ferroalloy is an additive to steel to produce a variety of special steels with high strength, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and oxidation resistance.
