High-purity low-carbon ferrochrome (micro-carbon ferrochrome)

Ferrochromium is widely used as an additive in steelmaking and ironmaking industries. The main components of ferrochrome are chromium and iron, of which the chromium content is 50%-70%, and other elements are carbon, silicon, sulfur and phosphorus.

According to the different carbon content, ferrochrome can be divided into high, medium, low and micro-carbon ferrochrome.

High carbon ferro chrome: the carbon content ranges from 4 to 8%;

Medium carbon ferro chrome: carbon content is between 0.5~4%;

Low carbon ferro chrome: carbon content is between 0.15~0.5%;

Micro carbon ferro chrome: the carbon content ranges from 0.06 to 0.15%.

However, the carbon content of the products that customers need is within 0.01, which is difficult to guarantee by traditional production methods. The factory technicians choose to use the ferrochrome nitride production line to produce the ultra-low carbon ferrochrome required by customers. The vacuum furnace used in the ferrochromium nitride production line of the factory. When producing ferrochrome nitride, high-carbon ferrochrome is selected as raw material, and high-carbon ferrochrome is smelted into low-carbon ferrochrome by blowing oxygen into the furnace, and then filled with nitrogen to obtain low-carbon ferrochromium nitride.

CUSTOMIZED LOW-CARBON FERROCHROME PRODUCTION PROCESS (MICRO-CARBON FERROCHROME PRODUCTION PROCESS)

Smelting micro-carbon ferrochrome by vacuum solid-state decarburization is obtained by grinding high-carbon ferrochrome into powder, adding oxidant, pressing, drying, vacuum smelting and other processes.

APPLICATION OF FERROCHROME WITH DIFFERENT CARBON CONTENT

High-carbon ferrochromium is mainly used as alloying agent, which is used in the production of ferroalloy.

Medium carbon ferrochromium is mainly used in the production of bearing steel and steel for auto parts.

Low carbon ferrochrome is mainly used in stainless steel, corrosion resistant steel.

Micro-carbon ferrochromium smelted by vacuum method is used to produce ultra-low carbon stainless steel, high-chromium stainless steel, heat-resistant steel and high-strength corrosion-resistant steel required by the atomic energy industry, chemical industry and aviation industry.
