Overview of Ferro Boron

Ferro Boron is a ferroalloy composed primarily of iron and boron, widely used in the steel and metallurgical industries to enhance the mechanical and chemical properties of steel. It is typically produced by the reduction of boron compounds with iron under controlled high-temperature conditions. Ferro Boron is valued for its ability to improve hardenability, strength, wear resistance, and grain refinement in steel and alloy formulations.

In industrial metallurgy, small additions of Ferro Boron significantly improve steel performance without altering its basic composition. It is commonly used in carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steels, and speciality alloys. Due to its high efficiency and low dosage requirement, Ferro Boron is considered a cost-effective additive in advanced steelmaking. ChemicalBull supplies industrial-grade Ferro Boron with consistent composition, suitable for controlled metallurgical applications.
