Ferro Alloys

Commodities · Metals

Ferro alloys for steelmaking and foundry applications.

Ferrochrome, ferromanganese, silicomanganese and ferrosilicon from established producers for steel mills and foundries.

Overview

Small volumes, critical quality.

Ferro alloys are added in small quantities but determine the strength, hardness and corrosion resistance of steel. Consistent chemistry and sizing are essential, and supply is concentrated in a limited number of producing countries.

We source from established producers in key origins and verify chemistry, sizing and packing before shipment, with independent inspection at loading.

Specifications

Typical products and grades.

Final specifications are agreed per contract and confirmed by independent inspection.
