Charge Grade Ferrochrome
Charge grade ferrochrome is a medium-to-high carbon ferroalloy (6-8% C, 60-66% Cr) optimized for electric arc furnace charging in stainless steel melting. Classified under HTS 7202.49.50.90 as unspecified 'other' ferrochromium not meeting low-carbon or silico criteria. It provides chromium recovery without excessive carbon pickup.
FeCr 60% Chromium Lumps
FeCr lumps containing approximately 60% chromium, 6-7% carbon, and balance iron, supplied in 10-100mm lump form for foundry and steel applications. This product fits HTS 7202.49.50.90 as 'other' ferrochromium excluding low-carbon and silico variants. Lumps ensure efficient furnace feeding.
Crushed Ferrochrome 0-10mm
Crushed ferrochrome sized 0-10mm with 64% Cr, 7% C for ladle additions and small furnace operations. HTS 7202.49.50.90 since crushing doesn't constitute Chapter 72 'further worked' surface treatment. Enables precise small-batch alloying.
High-Carbon Ferrochrome
High-carbon ferrochrome is a ferroalloy containing 50-70% chromium and 4-8% carbon, used primarily in stainless steel production. It falls under HTS 7202.49.50.90 as 'other ferrochromium' that is not low-carbon, not silico-ferrochromium, and not containing over 30% chromium by weight. This classification applies to standard grades produced via electric arc furnace smelting.
Medium-Carbon Ferrochrome Fines
Medium-carbon ferrochrome fines (2-4% C, 65% Cr) in powder or crushed form under 10mm, used for precise alloying in specialty steels. Falls under HTS 7202.49.50.90 as non-low-carbon, non-silico 'other ferrochromium.' Fines allow better mixing in ladle metallurgy.
Foundry Grade Ferrochrome
Foundry grade ferrochrome with 55-65% Cr and 5-7% C, designed for gray iron and ductile iron castings to enhance hardness. Classified in HTS 7202.49.50.90 as standard 'other' ferrochromium not silico or low-carbon. Provides cost-effective chromium addition for wear-resistant castings.
