Introduction

Product Overview

Ferroboron is a boron-based ferroalloy mainly composed of iron and boron. It is usually supplied in lump or granular form with a silver-gray metallic appearance.

As an important alloy additive in steelmaking, Ferroboron is widely used to improve the hardenability, mechanical properties, weldability, and high-temperature performance of steel. Even a very small amount of boron can significantly enhance steel performance.

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

Product Identification

Ferroboron has typical metallic characteristics.

Main appearance features:

Lump or granular form
Silver-gray surface
Metallic luster

Production Process

Ferroboron is produced by high-temperature smelting of mixed furnace materials.

During the process, boron in boron ore and iron ore reacts under high temperature conditions. Boron compounds are formed and reduced in the furnace, allowing boron elements to enter molten iron and form Ferroboron alloy.

Common Grade

B18C0.5 (Medium Carbon Ferroboron)

Chemical Composition (Reference)

Typical grade:

Grade	B Content	C Content
B18C0.5	Approx. 18%	Approx. 0.5%

Specific chemical composition and technical specifications can be supplied according to customer requirements.

Applications

Ferroboron is widely used in steelmaking, casting, and advanced material industries as a strong boron alloy additive.

In the steel industry, Ferroboron is an effective deoxidizer and boron element additive. Even trace amounts of boron can significantly improve steel hardenability and enhance mechanical properties, cold deformation performance, weldability, and high-temperature performance.

In the foundry industry, Ferroboron can influence graphite formation in cast iron, improving hardness and wear resistance. In malleable cast iron, adding small amounts of boron helps improve graphite distribution and structural performance.

In other applications, Ferroboron is used in aerospace materials as a high-strength structural additive. In the electronics industry, it is used in combination with rare earth materials to produce NdFeB magnetic materials, widely used in transformers, magnetic cores, and electronic components.
