Products classified under HTS 7202.49.10.00
Charge Grade High-Carbon Ferrochrome (FeCrC 64%)
Charge chrome ferroalloy containing 64-66% chromium and 5-8% carbon, designed for furnace charging in steelmaking. Classified under HTS 7202.49.10.00 for ferrochromium alloys over 3% carbon, used to introduce chromium without excessive melting energy. Lumpy form typical for foundry applications.
Foundry Grade High-Carbon Ferrochrome (FeCrC 60%)
High-carbon ferrochrome optimized for foundry cast iron with 60% Cr and >4% carbon to promote graphite formation. Falls under HTS 7202.49.10.00 as other ferrochromium >3% carbon, in smaller lump sizes for melting efficiency. Enhances hardness and wear resistance in castings.
Stainless Steel Grade HC Ferrochrome (FeCr 70C)
Premium high-carbon ferrochrome for 300-series stainless with 70% Cr, 5% C, low P/S. Specifically under HTS 7202.49.10.00 for >3% C ferrochromium, optimized for AOD refining. Critical for corrosion-resistant steel production.
South African HC Ferrochrome Lumps 10-100mm
South African origin high-carbon ferrochrome lumps sized 10-100mm, 66% Cr min, 6% C typical. HTS 7202.49.10.00 for ferrochromium >3% carbon, world's largest supplier for global stainless production. Bushveld complex chromite derived.
High-Carbon Ferrochrome (FeCrC 70%)
High-carbon ferrochrome with approximately 70% chromium and over 3% carbon content, used primarily as an alloying additive in stainless steel production. This ferroalloy falls under HTS 7202.49.10.00 due to its ferrochromium composition exceeding 3% carbon by weight, distinguishing it from low-carbon variants. It is produced by smelting chromite ore with carbon in electric arc furnaces.
FeCrC 68% High-Carbon Ferrochrome Lumps
Ferrochromium lumps with 68% Cr and 4-6% carbon, supplied in 20-150mm size for electric arc furnace use in stainless steel. Meets HTS 7202.49.10.00 criteria for >3% carbon ferrochromium, essential for cost-effective chromium addition. Produced from South African or Indian chromite sources typically.
HC FeCr 65C High-Carbon Ferrochrome Fines
Crushed fines of high-carbon ferrochrome with 65% Cr and 6-8% C, used in powder metallurgy or as recarburizer. HTS 7202.49.10.00 applies to ferrochromium >3% carbon in any form except coils/patterns. Fines offer faster dissolution in ladle additions.
