Ferrochrome Nitride Powder Application:

Ferrochrome, or ferrochromium (FeCr) is a type of ferroalloy, that is, an alloy of chromium and iron, generally containing 50 to 70% chromium by weight.

Ferrochrome is produced by electric arc carbothermic reduction of chromite. Most of the global output is produced in and India, which have large domestic chromite resources. Increasing amounts are coming from Russia and China.

Production of steel, especially that of stainless steel with a chromium content of 10 to 20%, is the largest consumer and the main application of ferrochrome.

Ferrochrome production is essentially a carbothermic reduction operation taking place at high temperatures. Chromium ore (an oxide of Cr and Fe) is reduced by coal and coke to form the iron-chromium alloy.

The heat for this reaction can come from several forms, but typically from the electric arc formed between the tips of electrodes at the bottom of the furnace and the furnace hearth.

This arc creates temperatures of about 2,800 °C (5,070 °F). In the process of smelting, huge amounts of electricity are consumed, making production very expensive in countries where power costs are high.

The tapping of the material from the furnace takes place intermittently. When enough smelted ferrochrome has accumulated in the furnace hearth.

The tap hole is drilled open and a stream of molten metal and slag rushes down a trough into a chill or ladle. Ferrochrome solidifies in large castings that are crushed for sale or further processed.

Ferrochrome is generally classified by the amount of carbon and chrome it contains.

The vast majority of FeCr produced is "charge chrome" from South Africa, with high carbon being the second largest segment followed by the smaller sectors of low carbon and intermediate carbon material.

Product Name: Iron Boride Powder

Iron Boride Powder Description

Iron Boride Powder is often used to improve abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and oxidation resistance. It is used in oil and gas refinery, chemical extraction, automotive agricultural, stamping, textile extrusion, and injection molding industries. Iron-based coatings recently gained attention for their mechanical, frictional, and corrosion-resistant properties. As compared to the ceramic or cermet type of materials people have used before, iron-based materials are relatively inexpensive, less strategic, and can be produced economically by various thermal methods with ease of fabrication and machining.
