The range of chromium alloys is very large.

There are 17 grades of ferrochromium and 5 grades of metal chromium. Alloys are differed mainly by the carbon content which differs from 0.01 to 8%. The lower is carbon content the more expensive is alloy and more complicated the technology of its manufacture.

Carbon free and low carbon ferrochromium is used for production of stainless steel and various alloys.

Carbonic ferrochromium is produced from chrome ore with Cr2O3 content up to 62%.

GOST 4757 - 91 (ISO 5448 - 81)

Note. According to customer’s request the low carbon ferrochromium is produced as follows:

• with fraction of total mass of Si max. 0,2; 0,3; 0,6% for grades FeCr001А, FeCr001B; max. 0,2; 0,3; 0,6; 0,8; 1,0% for grades FeCr002А, FeCr002B, FeCr003А, FeCr003B, FeCr004А, FeCr004B, FeCr005А, FeCr006А, FeCr010А, FeCr 015А; max 1,5% for grade FeCr025А;
• at that ferrochromium of grades FeCr001А, FeCr001B, FeCr002А, FeCr002B, FeCr003А, FeCr003B, FeCr004А, FeCr004B is allowed to be produced with fraction of total mass of Cr not less than 65%;

Note. At customer’s request low carbon nitrated ferrochromium is produced: with fraction of total mass of carbon max. 0,02% for all grades; max 0,03% for grades FeCrN100А, FeCrN100B, FeCrN200А, FeCrN200B, FeCrN400А, FeCrN400B; with fraction of total mass of aluminum max. 0,1% for all grades.

Ferrochromium is supplied in pieces 20 kg max or in form of crushed and sifted particles. High carbon ferrochromium is allowed to be produced in pigs 30 kg max.
