Noble Alloys

Ferro Boron

 Boron is normally added to steel in the form of Ferro Boron. Its main effect is to increase hardenability of the steel. It can also be used to partly replace other alloying elements e.g. Cr, Ni and Mo in certain alloy steels.

Ferro Molybdenum

Molybdenum is normally mined as Molybdenite and processed by roasting to Molybdenum Oxide. It is used in this form or by downstream processing to Ferro Molybdenum. The main application in iron and steel is to maintain high strength at elevated temperatures.     ...

Ferro Titanium

Titanium is a highly reactive metal which at steel making temperatures forms stable compounds with oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and sulphur. This "fixing" effect along with its potential to grain refine is very important in the production of certain steels...

Ferro Vanadium

FERRO VANADIUM Ferro Vanadium is added in small quantities to microalloyed steels to increase strength. In larger quantities it is added to increase strength and heat resistance in tool steels. Normal grade is 80% Vanadium and is available in a...
