Ferro alloys and steel two sides of a coin

摘要

Steel is the most versatile material, which has made the progress in every aspect of manufacturing and engineering. There are hundreds of varieties of steel because for each application it has to be made with specific properties to get the most optimum usage. Though the basic constituent of steel is iron, it is the proportion of other elements in it, which gives each type of steel certain specific properties. These elements are added in liquid iron in the form of ferro alloys to get the desired composition and properties. Thus, ferro alloys are important additives in the production of steel and ferro alloys industry is vitally linked for its growth and development to that of the steel industry.
