High carbon ferrochrome is one of the most common ferroalloys produced and is almost exclusively used in the production of stainless steel and high chromium steels. Ferrochrome is an important alloy additive in steelmaking. Ferrochrome is mainly used as an alloy additive in steelmaking and used to be added in the late refining stage of steelmaking.
