Ferroalloys

Most of the world´s ferrochrome is used in the production of corrosion resistant steel. We source low, mid and high carbon ferrochrome for production of a wide range of steel alloys.

Ferromolybdenum is a hardening agent that prevents corrossion in heat treatable steels, widely used in steel for chemical and oil & gas industries. We market ferromolybdenum and moly oxides globally.

Primarily used to improve tensile strength in construction steel, this alloy improves several qualities making it also useful for production of specialty steels for high-end applications. We comercialize ferrovanadium for a wide range of steel qualities, from rebar to specialty steels.

Ferroniobium is used in High-Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) steel, stainless steel alloys and also in alloys with a variety of nonferrous metals. Niobium containing steels have a high tensile strength and are often used in automotive, pipeline construction, jet engines, and heat resistant equipment. We source ferroniobium from the major global producers.

Used to deoxidize steel. It is also used to produce silicon steel for electromotors and transformer cores, as well as in the manufacture of cast iron for inoculation of the iron to accelerate graphitization.

Metallurgical cored wire is a product of wire injection technology, in which a continuous steel tube filled with various alloys is injected directly into the molten metal for the purpose of steel refining, alloy addition, modification of inclusion, deoxidation, desulphurisation, dephosphorisation, etc. Exiros markets a wide variety of cored wires from major producers world wide, focused on meeting the specific technical requirements of each client. Marketed products include: calcium treatment (SiCa, AlCasi, AlCaFe, pure calcium), graphite, ferro boron, ferro titanium, among others.

Exiros markets globally a wide range of alloying materials to cover the needs of steel meltshops and foundries.
