Ferroalloy 1858454 220799975 2008-06-21T17:12:02Z Chromeman1968 6570332 /* European producers of ferroalloys */ '''Ferroalloy''' refers to various [[alloy]]s of [[iron]] with a high proportion of one or more other [[Chemical element|element]], [[manganese]] or [[silicon]] for example. It is used in the production of [[steel]]s 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 == European producers of ferroalloys == *[[Elkem]], a Norwegian company that produces ferroalloys, silicon metal, and aluminum. *[[Tinfos]] is a [[Norway|Norwegian]] company that produces ferroalloys. *[[Rio Doce Manganese Norway]], a subsidiary of [[Vale (mining company)|Vale]], is a [[Norway|Norwegian]] company located in [[Mo i Rana]] that produces [[Silicomanganese|silicomanganese]] and [[Ferromanganese|ferromanganese]]. *[[Rio Doce Manganese Europe]], a subsidiary of [[Vale (mining company)|Vale]], is a [[France|French]] company that produces [[Ferromanganese|ferromanganese]]. ==See also== *[[Nikopol Ferroalloy Plant]] and [[Privat Group]], one of the world's leading ferroalloys manufacturers {{alloy-stub}} [[Category:Ferroalloys| ]] [[cs:Feroslitina]] [[de:Ferrolegierung]] [[el:Σιδηροκράματα]] [[no:Ferrolegering]] [[pl:Żelazostopy]] [[ru:Ферросплавы]] [[sk:Ferozliatina]] [[vi:Hợp kim ferô]] [[uk:Феросплав]]
