Low carbon Ferrochrome Powder Description
Low-carbon Ferrochrome Powder is an important alloy agent in steelmaking. The addition of chromium to steel can significantly improve the oxidation resistance of steel and increase the corrosion resistance of steel. Chromium is contained in many sheets of steel with special physical and chemical properties.

FAQs
1. What is the difference between low carbon ferrochrome and high carbon ferrochrome?
Low carbon ferrochrome has a reduced carbon content. It is used in the production of the alloys demanded to have high corrosivity and strength. High carbon ferrochrome has a higher carbon content and is largely used in the ordinary production of stainless and carbon steel.
2. How is low carbon ferrochrome produced?
Normally, low-carbon ferrochromium is produced by two major processes: electric arc furnace or vacuum smelting methods. These methods can control the carbon content effectively so that one can derive high-quality low-carbon ferrochrome.
3. What are the benefits of using low-carbon ferrochrome?
The relatively lower content of carbon in ferrochrome improves the corrosion resistance, ductility, and strength of the alloy, besides reducing the adverse impact of carbon on the properties of the alloy.
4. How does the performance of low-carbon ferrochrome fare in terms of the environment?
The carbon emission in the production process should be controlled, while evidence of low-carbon ferrochrome use reduces resource waste and environmental pollution.
5. How low-carbon ferrochromium is stored and transported?
Keep low carbon ferrochrome in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place in order to prevent dampness and oxidation. Avoid collision and jolting in transport so no detriment is caused to its quality.
6. Low-carbon ferrochrome future development trend?
The demand in the market for low-carbon ferrochrome is expected to be on the long-term rise. The demand is always on a rise for stainless steel and high-performance alloy. Meanwhile, the other requirements of developing in an environmentally friendly, resource-efficient way are taken more seriously.
