Product Overview

Ferro Chrome (FeCr) is an essential alloy in steel production, primarily used to introduce chromium into molten steel. It enhances hardness, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature strength. Our Ferro Chrome is manufactured with high-grade chromite ore and advanced smelting technology, ensuring consistent chemistry and stable performance.

Ferro Silicon Chrome

Case Study: Reducing Carbon Variation in Stainless Steel Production

Background

A leading stainless steel manufacturer in Southeast Asia was producing 300-series austenitic stainless steel (304 grade). They experienced inconsistent carbon content in their final product, leading to rejected batches and increased production costs. Their existing ferro chrome supplier provided material with unstable carbon levels (ranging from 7.2% to 8.5% C), making furnace control difficult.

Challenge

Carbon deviation in final steel exceeded 0.08%, causing scrap rates of up to 4.5%

Frequent adjustments to the AOD (Argon Oxygen Decarburization) process increased refining time by 15 minutes per heat

Total monthly loss estimated at $85,000 due to rework and rejected coils

Solution Implemented

Our team supplied High Carbon Ferro Chrome with guaranteed carbon content of 7.0% ± 0.2%, along with:

A certificate of analysis for each batch

Technical support to adjust charge calculations

Just-in-time delivery to match their production schedule

Results (After 3 Months)

Metric	Before	After
Carbon variation in steel	±0.08%	±0.02%
Scrap rate	4.5%	1.2%
AOD refining time	65 min	52 min
Monthly cost savings	–	$62,000

Customer Feedback
