Ferroalloy refers to various alloys of iron with a high proportion of one or more other element, manganese or silicon for example. It is used in the production of steels and alloys as a raw material.
The main ferroalloys are:
• FeMn - ferromanganese
• FeCr - ferrochromium
• FeMg - ferromagnesium
• FeMo - ferromolybdenum - min. 60% Mo, max. 1% Si, max. 0.5% Cu
• FeNi - ferronickel
• FeTi - ferrotitanium - 10..30-65..75% Ti, max. 5-6.5% Al, max. 1-4% Si
• FeV - ferrovanadium
• FeSi - ferrosilicon - 15-90% Si
• FeB - ferroboron - 12-20% of boron, max. 3% of silicon, max. 2% aluminium, max. 1% of carbon
• FeP - ferrophosphorus
• FeCe - ferrocerium
• FeNb - ferroniobium, also called ferrocolumbium
• FeW - ferrotungsten
• FeAl - ferroaluminum
• SiMn - silicomanganese
• FeSiMg – ferrosilicon magnesium (with Mg 4 to 25 %), also called nodulizer
铁合金:
铁与一种或几种元素组成的中间合金,主要用于钢铁冶炼。在钢铁工业中一般还把所有炼钢用的中间合金,不论含铁与否(如硅钙合金),都称为“铁合金”。习惯上还把某些纯金属添加剂及氧化物添加剂也包括在内。
常用的有:锰铁、铬铁、硅铁、钨铁、钼铁、钒铁、钛铁、镍铁、铌(钽)铁、稀土铁合金、硼铁、磷铁等。
