High Carbon Ferro Chrome is an alloy of chromium & ferrous used in the manufacture of Stainless Steel. It is manufactured in a submerged electric arc furnace. The raw materials for its manufacture include:

  • Chromite Ore (in the form of fines and lumps)
  • Reductants (like Coke and Coal)
  • Fluxes (like Quartz, Dolamite, etc.)

Ores are transported, by road and rail, from the Sukinda mines in Orissa to our factory located at Ravivalasa village of Srikakulam Dist. The reductants are imported mainly from China. Coal is sourced from Singareni Mines and Talcher in Orissa.

The typical specification of High Carbon Ferro Chrome is:
