Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing >0.5% carbon but >30% silicon
Ferrosilicon-chromium with high silicon content shifts to ferrochromium-silicon subheading.
If not qualifying as ferrochromium due to chromium <30%
Other ferroalloys with lower chromium fall under the general ferroalloys category.
