Ferro Chrome High Carbon

Ferro Alloys

High-carbon ferrochrome (HCFeCr), typically containing 60-70% chromium and 4-9% carbon, is extensively used in welding electrodes—specifically in coating formulations for surfacing—to impart exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance to the weld deposit. As a powder, it acts as a flux component to improve slag viscosity and stabilize the welding arc. Typically contains 60–70% Cr, 4–9% C, and usually < 2% Si.
