RFA enters beleaguered charge chrome market

The miner Russian Ferro Alloys (RFA) has started production of charge chrome at a time when supply from the incumbent producers has been cut in the face of low prices and an escalation of costs.

"The current production rate [of charge chrome] is set at 250,000 tonnes [per year] and can be adjusted based on market demand and on the ideal production mix," a spokesman told Fastmarkets on January 30.
RFA's product mix is made up of extra low, low, medium and high-carbon ferro-chrome, as well as ferro-silicon and silico-manganese along with inoculants.
