Description

Nitrogenous ferrochrome is a ferroalloy of the ferrochrome group, usually containing 60-70% chromium and relatively high amounts of nitrogen (at least) 8%. Nitrogenous ferrochrome usually occurs in the form of silver-gray lumps and is used in steelmaking due to its special properties to produce steels with unique properties.

Properties of Nitrogenous ferrochrome:

• Increased hardness, strength and toughness due to the presence of nitrogen
• Increased wear resistance
• Increased corrosion resistance in corrosive environments

Applications of Nitrogenous ferrochrome:

• Used in the production of stainless steels (In Cr-Ni stainless steels, the nickel element can be replaced with nitrogen, which leads to a reduction in economic costs.) 
• Production of welding electrodes
