Low Carbon Ferrochrome is a ferroalloy composed of iron and silicon. It is made from coke, steel scrap, quartz (or silica), and smelted in an electric furnace. Since silicon and oxygen easily combine to form silica, low carbon ferrochrome is often used as a deoxidizer in steelmaking. It is also advantageous for increasing the temperature of the molten steel during the deoxidizing process. Additionally, low carbon ferrochrome can be used as an additive for alloying elements and is widely used in low-alloy structural steel, spring steel, bearing steel, heat-resistant steel, and electrical silicon steel. It is commonly used in the production of iron alloys and in the chemical industry as a reducing agent.

Low carbon ferrochrome is used as a deoxidizer and alloying agent in the steelmaking industry. Deoxidation must be carried out in the final stage of steelmaking in order to obtain qualified steel and ensure its quality.

Furthermore, it is also used as an inoculant and nodularizer in the cast iron industry. Adding a certain amount of low-carbon ferrochrome can prevent the formation of carbides in iron and promote the precipitation and spheroidization of graphite for casting.
