Ferrosilicochrome (FeSiCr) is an alloy containing about 11-60% Si, 24-64% Cr, 0.01-6.0% C. The higher silicon content in an alloy, the less carbon it contains. SiCr (10-46% Si) is usually used during low-alloyed steel smelting and also for creating low- and medium-carbon ferrochrome with silico-thermic method. SiCr (43-55% Si) is used for the production of low- or so called “non-carbon” ferrochrome and stainless steel melting. SiCr can be used to replace ferrosilicon as a slag reducing additive. The alloy with high silicon content (up to 60%) is added to corrosion- and heat-resistant steels.

Among the users of SiCr are many steel plants, foundries and ferroalloys producers. Obviously, the biggest share of SiCr is consumed by the running low-carbon ferrochrome producers.
