Ferro Alloy / Minor Metals
Home » Ferro Alloys
Ferro alloy refers to various alloys of iron with a high proportion of one or more other elements such as manganese, aluminium, or silicon. They are used in the production of steels and alloys.
Products-
Ferro Chrome (FeCr) – It helps in enhancing corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance and aids in high temperature strength. It is primarily used in Stainless Steel industry along with being used as an additive in special steel for construction amongst many others.
Ferro Silicon (FeSi) – Ferro Silicon acts as a strong steel oxidant. It helps in increasing strength of steel and is in making Stainless steel , ball bearings along with high permeability steel for electric transformers. It is primarily in special steels and used in small quantities in mild steel. Ferro silicon is also used for manufacture of silicon, corrosion-resistant and high-temperature resistant ferrous silicon alloys, and silicon steel for electromotors and transformer cores.
Silicon Manganese (SiMn) – SiMn is the most preferred alloy for making steel and is used in almost all grades of making steel.Here, manganese is introduced in steel and si is not deleterious along with the additional advantage of low levels of phosphorous and Alliminium in making steel.
Ferro Manganese (FeMn) – FeMn is mainly used in stainless steel industry followed by the steel industry to make flat steel majorly. It helps in deoxidising and de-sulphurising agent along with adding hardness for wear and tear to steel.
