Ferroalloy Prices

Main elements of ferroalloys

Ferroalloys, metal alloys based on iron and other elements, are used on a large scale in the steel industry to give steel specific properties and characteristics.

Main elements of ferroalloys:

• Manganese: increases the hardness, toughness and wear resistance of steel.
• Silicon: promotes the deoxygenation and fluidity of steel, improving its workability.
• Chrome: increases resistance to corrosion and high temperatures.
• Nickel: improves the toughness and ductility of steel.
• Titanium: increases resistance to corrosion and high temperatures.
• Molybdenum: stabilises the structure of steel and improves its resistance to corrosion.
