Ferro Alloys

Bulk alloys or Ferro Alloys are produced in large quantities in electric arc furnaces. Ferro Alloys are essentially used to impart certain physical and chemical properties to a particular grade of steel e.g. change in tensile strength, ductility, hardness, corrosion, resistance, wear resistance or abrasion.

Ferro Alloy is indispensable materials for refining, deoxidation, desulphurization, and alloying to achieve the desired chemical and physical properties in steel. As such they influence the steel quality and steel making economics to a great extent. They are vital inputs for producing all types of steel and are used as raw material in the production of alloys steel and stainless steel. Not a single grade of steel is produced without ferro-alloys. In fact, more than 85 % of ferroalloys produced globally are consumed in the steel industry.
