Chromium element is an important metal material, which is widely used in metallurgical, chemical, refractory and other industries. Its upstream is chromium ore, downstream stainless steel, special steel and so on. Most of the chromium ore is processed into ferrochrome alloy, which is used as a raw material for special steel.
In the process of iron and steel smelting, it is added to the steel according to the composition requirements of the steel to improve the performance of the steel, so as to produce a variety of high strength, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance of special steel, which is widely used in aviation, aerospace, shipbuilding and national defense industry, is an important industrial support of the country; A small part of the chromium ore is processed into chemical chromium salts and refractory materials. Below we will introduce the use of high-carbon ferrochrome and application cases in the metallurgical industry.
Use of ferrochrome：
1. Casting industry: high-carbon ferrochrome is an important casting material, which can be used to make various mechanical parts, vehicle parts and construction machinery, etc., with good wear resistance and heat resistance, and can meet the working environment under high temperature and pressure.
2. Metallurgy: high-carbon ferrochrome can be used in the smelting process of alloy steel to increase alloying elements and improve alloy properties. It can improve the hardness, strength and wear resistance of alloy steel, so that it has better high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.
3. Steel manufacturing: high-carbon ferrochrome can be used for alloy addition in the steel manufacturing process. It can increase the oxidation resistance of steel, while improving the hardness and strength of steel and increasing its service life.
4. Electronics industry: high-carbon ferrochrome can be used to manufacture electronic components and equipment. It has good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, which can ensure the efficient and stable operation of electronic equipment.
5. Smelting industry: high-carbon ferrochrome can be used for smelting stainless steel and heat-resistant steel and other special steels. It can improve the oxidation resistance and heat resistance of special steels, so that they have better mechanical properties and corrosion resistance in high temperature environments.
Ferrochrome metallurgy industry applications：
