Ferro Alloys

Ferroalloys are one of the important inputs in the manufacture of alloys and special steel. They are used as deoxidisers and alloy additives in the steel manufacturing process. They impart special properties to steel. The alloys provide increased resistance to corrosion, improve hardness & tensile strength at high temperature, impart wear and abrasion resistance and increases creep strength etc.

The growth of Ferroalloys Industry is, thus, linked with the development of the Iron and Steel Industry, Foundry Industry and to some extent Electrode Industry. The principal ferroalloys are chromium, manganese and silicon. The product series consists mainly of ferromanganese, silicomanganese, ferrosilicon and ferrochrome.
