ferroalloy
Iron-based metal blend
A ferroalloy is an alloy of iron combined with one or more other elements, such as manganese, silicon, or chromium.
These alloys are produced primarily for use in steelmaking, where they add specific properties to the steel or help remove impurities during production.
The plant produces ferroalloys for the global steel industry.
Different ferroalloys serve different purposes: ferrochrome adds corrosion resistance, while ferromanganese improves strength and hardness.
