High Carbon Ferrochrome

High-carbon ferrochrome is a ferroalloy with a high chromium content, commonly specified in accordance with international standards such as ISO 5448. It is produced by carbothermic reduction of chromite ore in submerged arc and DC furnaces at the Aktobe Ferroalloy Plant. The product is supplied in lumpy form or screenings with a metallic silver appearance and provides key properties such as corrosion and oxidation resistance, as well as hardness, to the final steel product.

High-carbon ferrochrome is intended for use as a master alloy in the metallurgical industry, primarily to produce stainless steel, engineering steels, and high-strength low-alloy steels.

The results in this EPD represent the weighted average production of high-carbon ferrochrome at the Aktobe facilities. More information is found on Kazchrome’s website: www.kazchrome.com, erg.kz.
