Ferro Alloys, as the name
indicates are the alloys of chromium, manganese, silicon
etc. in alloy form with iron (Fe). Ferro alloys are used in
steel making as an additive to add strength and quality
required in a particular grade of steel. For instance the
alloy ferro chrome is used in the manufacture of stainless
steel.
Ferro alloys are of two type - bulk and noble. Noble ferro
alloys like ferro titanium, Molybdenum, Vanadium are used
for the manufacture of steel for highly specialized
applications and their demand is small. Bulk ferro alloys
like ferro manganese, silico manganese and ferro silicon are
used for manufacturing all grades of steel and are in great
demand. Growth of Ferro Alloys Industry is
directly linked to growth of Steel Industry.
