Ferroalloys are alloys of iron that contain a high proportion of one or more other elements, such as chromium, manganese, silicon, molybdenum, titanium, tungsten, and vanadium. They play a crucial role in the steel industry, as over 85% of ferroalloys produced are used in steel manufacturing.
Ferroalloys are added to steel during the manufacturing process to remove impurities and achieve specific qualities like tensile strength, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and yield strength.
There are two main types of ferroalloys:
- bulk ferroalloys, which are produced in large quantities in an electric arc furnace and mainly used in steelmaking and steel or iron foundries
- noble/special ferroalloys, which are typically produced in smaller quantities but have more varied uses in industries like steel, cast-iron, iron, aluminium, and chemical.
- The three main segments of the ferroalloy market are ferromanganese, ferrosilicon, and ferrochrome, and ferroalloys can be further subcategorized into different types based on the specific elements they contain.
