Chromium is one of the most versatile and widely used alloying elements in steel. It imparts corrosion and oxidation resistance, is a mild harden ability agent, improves wear resistance and promotes the retention of useful strength levels at elevated temperatures.

Ferro Chrome is an alloy of Chromium & Iron containing 50 – 70% chromium by weight. Similar like Manganese, Chrome addition agents are also chosen on the basis of Carbon Content. As the content of Carbon becomes more restricted in Steel, it is necessary to switch to the more costly Low Carbon Ferro Chrome.

Low Carbon Ferro Chrome is used when content of Chromium needs to be increased without an addition to the content of Carbon. Low Carbon Ferro Chrome is used mainly in all major grades of Stainless Steel. It is also used for Constructional Alloy Steels, Tool Steels, Super Alloys and other speciality metals.
