Low carbon ferrochrome is an alloy of iron, chromium, and carbon, with a chromium content typically ranging from 60% to 70%. It is produced by the reduction of chromite ore with coke and a reductant such as silicon or aluminum in a submerged arc furnace. The low carbon content in LCFeCr makes it a popular alloy for stainless steel production as it helps reduce the carbon content in the final product.
