Ferrochrome
Ferrochrome is specified by chromium and carbon class together with silicon, phosphorus, sulphur, size range and recovery expectations. High-, medium- and low-carbon grades are not interchangeable and must be linked to a producer analysis and lot identity.
Ferrochrome technical profile
This public profile explains the product forms, inspection scope, standards context and documentation needed for a technical enquiry. It does not publish unconfirmed supplier limits.
Commercial forms and classification
Final grade designations and producer-specific forms are confirmed against supplier documentation during quotation.
- High-carbon ferrochrome
- Medium-carbon ferrochrome
- Low-carbon ferrochrome
Detailed specification available with quotation.
Grade-specific chemical, physical or mechanical limits, dimensions, tolerances, packaging and inspection evidence are available only with the quotation and supplier confirmation.
Industrial use contexts
Application suitability depends on the confirmed grade and supplier evidence. These uses define the technical purchasing context rather than a supply guarantee.
- Stainless-steel melting
- Alloy-steel production
- Foundry alloying
Inspection evidence and controlled documents
Testing, inspection and documentation are reviewed against the exact grade, producer and lot before an offer is confirmed.
- Lot chemical analysis
- Sizing and fines check
- Weight and packaging inspection
Handling, transport and storage basis
Lumps are commonly supplied in bulk bags, drums or bulk lots; size segregation and moisture protection are defined by the offer.
Technical FAQ
What should a buyer specify for Ferrochrome?
State the required product form or grade, quantity, destination, Incoterm, application and inspection or documentation requirements. The quotation then identifies the supplier-confirmed specification.
Do the public references constitute a HAN METALS supply specification?
No. Public standards and industry references support technical comparison. Only the quotation and applicable supplier TDS, COA or MTC define the offered material.
Which checks are relevant to Ferrochrome?
Lot chemical analysis, Sizing and fines check, Weight and packaging inspection are reviewed as applicable to the requested grade, product form and lot.

HM-02-01Chrome OreLumpy chrome ore is evaluated by chromium oxide content, Cr/Fe ratio, gangue chemistry, moisture and calibrated size distribution. The delivered lot requires representative sampling and a clearly stated dry or as-received reporting basis.
HM-02-02Chrome ConcentrateChrome concentrate is a beneficiated fine chromite product whose value depends on Cr2O3, Cr/Fe ratio, silica, phosphorus, sulphur, moisture and particle-size distribution. Agglomeration route and handling constraints should be stated before quotation.
HM-02-04Chromium MetalChromium metal is a high-purity alloying material supplied in forms such as flakes, pieces or briquettes. Buyers should define chromium basis, critical impurities, particle or piece size, packaging and the analytical method used for release.
