high carbon ferro chrome specification
High carbon ferro chrome is classified based on chromium concentration and carbon percentage.
HC FeCr typically contains 60–65% Cr and 6–8% C.

Quality Assurance & Certifications
Every batch of HC FeCr undergoes strict QC procedures:
- Controlled smelting and alloying process
- Batch-based chemical analysis
- Pre-shipment testing and COA issuance
- Third-party inspection (SGS or equivalent) available on request
- Full photographic documentation of packaging/loading when required
- Traceable lot numbers and documentation for all shipments
This ensures stable chemistry and consistent metallurgical performance for industrial buyers.
Safety, Storage & Handling Guidelines
High Carbon Ferrochrome is a stable, non-hazardous alloy under normal industrial conditions.
However, proper handling and storage ensure safe use and maintain product quality.
Storage Recommendations
- Store in a dry, covered area to prevent moisture absorption
- Avoid contact with water or humid environments to reduce oxidation risk
- Keep bags intact and sealed until use
- Place on pallets to prevent ground contact
Handling Precautions
- Use appropriate PPE during handling (gloves, safety boots, dust mask, goggles)
- Avoid creating excessive dust during loading or charging
- Ensure proper ventilation in enclosed spaces
- Prevent direct skin/eye contact with fine particles
Fire & Reactivity Notes
- Not flammable in solid form
- Fine dust may become combustible at high concentration—avoid open flames or sparks
- In case of fire, use dry extinguishing media (sand, dry powder)
Environmental & Disposal
- Non-hazardous for industrial disposal
- Prevent dust release into stormwater or soil
- Dispose of residue in accordance with local regulations

(Samples or smaller shipments are not available due to global logistics constraints.)
Important Notes When Buying High Carbon Ferro Chrome
The key parameters affecting the quality of HC FeCr include:
- Chromium percentage
- Carbon content
- Levels of impurities (Si, P, S)
Higher impurity levels reduce alloy performance and create issues in steelmaking and casting.
Euralink Group guarantees low-impurity HC FeCr, matching the chemical analysis in the proforma invoice.
Appearance & Properties
- Color: Dark grey, darker than low-carbon ferro chrome
- Odor: Odorless
- Flammability: Dust particles may be combustible
- Stability: Stable under normal temperature and pressure
- Insoluble in water
- Overexposure may cause: skin irritation, eye redness, respiratory irritation and coughing
high carbon ferro chrome uses
High Carbon Ferrochrome is essential for producing steels with enhanced hardness, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature performance.
Key applications include:
- Stainless steel manufacturing
- High-chromium & alloy steels
- Tool steels & bearing steels
- Engineering steels & welding consumables
- Hard-facing and wear-resistant plates
- Acid- and oxidation-resistant steels
- Heat-resistant steels and castings
- Pre-reduction processes in energy-efficient steelmaking
- Structural alloy steels
- Superalloys
- Polishing and metal finishing (improves smoothness and luster)
- Improving corrosion & oxidation resistance
- Increasing hardness in cast iron and steel
- Improving hardenability (shifts TTT curve right)
- Enhancing hardness uniformity
- Increasing impact resistance
- Strengthening steel at high temperatures
HC FeCr also improves:
- Hardenability (TTT curve shift)
- Wear resistance
- High-temperature strength
- Corrosion and oxidation resistance
- Grain structure stability
