High Carbon Ferrochrome

High Carbon Ferrochrome (HC FeCr) is a core ferroalloy composed of chromium and iron, featuring stable composition and excellent alloying performance. Available in low/medium/normal silicon grades, it serves as a key chromium additive for stainless steel, special steel and wear-resistant castings. It effectively improves the hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of finished steel and castings. Our products adopt strict quality control, with stable specifications and reliable supply for global industrial procurement.

Introduction

Product Overview

High Carbon Ferrochrome, also known as High Chrome or “Large Eye Chrome” in the market, is a ferroalloy product mainly composed of chromium and iron with relatively high carbon content.

With high chromium content and excellent alloying performance, High Carbon Ferrochrome is an important chromium additive in the steel industry. It is mainly used in the production of special steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel, improving hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and overall material performance.

Tiegu delivers high-quality, standards-compliant ferroalloys to international buyers, ensuring reliable supply and consistent quality across the production chain.

Product Identification

High Carbon Ferrochrome is commonly known as High Chrome or Large Eye Chrome in the market.

Common appearance characteristics include:

Round hole structures on the surface
Green oxide attachments (“green hair” appearance)
Honeycomb-like internal structure

However, some ferrochrome products may have a solid structure without obvious round hole features.

Compared with Silicomanganese and High Carbon Ferromanganese, High Carbon Ferrochrome usually has:

Rougher fracture surface
More slag content on the surface

Customers are advised to confirm the product grade according to chemical composition and application requirements.

Appearance Characteristics

High Carbon Ferrochrome is usually supplied in lump form.

Main characteristics:

High hardness
Dense structure
Strong alloying properties
Appearance may vary depending on production source

Due to its high hardness, the product is difficult to process manually.

Common Grades

Main grade:

FeCr55C10 (Domestic Ferrochrome)

In actual market supply, product quality and composition may vary between different suppliers, and products are not strictly limited to standard grades only.

Chemical Composition (Reference)

High Carbon Ferrochrome is mainly classified according to chromium content, silicon content, and carbon content.

Common categories:

High Carbon Ferrochrome with Normal Silicon

Si: 2.5%-5%

Medium Silicon High Carbon Ferrochrome

Si: 1.5%-2.5%

Low Silicon High Carbon Ferrochrome

Si: around below 1.5%
Some products: Si＜1.0%

Product prices vary significantly depending on chromium content, silicon content, and other chemical compositions:

Higher chromium content usually results in higher prices;
Lower silicon content usually results in higher prices.

Specific chemical composition can be supplied according to customer requirements.

Applications

High Carbon Ferrochrome is mainly used in special steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel production as an important chromium alloy additive.

In the steel industry, High Carbon Ferrochrome is used to adjust chromium content in steel materials, improving hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and overall mechanical properties. It is widely used in stainless steel, alloy structural steel, and other steel production applications.

In the foundry industry, High Carbon Ferrochrome can improve the wear resistance and hardness of cast products, enhancing casting performance and supporting applications such as wear-resistant castings.

In addition, high-chromium ferrochrome powder can be used in industrial fields such as ceramic pigments.

Some low-silicon High Carbon Ferrochrome products are mainly used for wear-resistant parts production, while low-titanium High Carbon Ferrochrome can also be used in bearing steel production.
