Chromite (Chrome Ore):
Chromium usage can be divided into 3 categories:
Metallurgy : 90%
Chemical : 5%
Refractory and Foundry : 5%
Chromite ores are converted into ferro chrome through smelting with carbon or silicon. Metallurgical ferro chrome major usage is the production of stainless steel.
Chromium biggest benefit in the metallurgy ferro chrome usage is its corrosion resistance, hardness, strength and bright furnish. These benefits allows ferro chrome to be used in the production of stainless steels, and heat resistant steel. In the production of stainless steel, the use of ferro chrome has no substitute, so as long as stainless steels are being produced worldwide, the demand for chromite ores will exist. Up to 25% of the weight of stainless steel is ferro chrome.
South Africa is the largest producer of chromite ores, where over 70% of world chromite ore reserves are believed to be located. Today South Africa supplies approximately 50% of world's supplies of chromite ores.
Other countries playing a significant role in the supply of chromite ores are Kazakhstan, India, Turkey, Zimbabwe, Russia, Brazil, Finland, Australia, Iran and Oman. The total worldwide production of chromite ore is approximately 20 million metric tons per year.
