UKREXPORT also has direct access to producers of couple of specialties in metallurgic industry, either produced in Ukraine or shipped by logistics of Ukraine (the Great Silk Road):
1) White, Grey, Ductile Pig Iron both giving extra low Mn, S, P and controlling extra low Cu, Cr, Ni, Ti, V, Pb, Al, Mg as well. This type of high purity iron -- also called Malleable/Nodular Pig Iron or else Sphero Pig Iron -- is characterized by spherical graphite nodules in its microstructure. Due to spherical structure, this iron material offers special properties like increase of yield strength and tensile strength needed upon critical requirements in foundry and ductile applications;
2) Principal ferroalloys such as Ferrosilicon, Ferromanganese, Ferrochrome and less commonly used Ferrophosphorus, Ferrovanadium, Ferrotitanium, Ferroniobium, Ferromolybdenum, Ferroboron, etc. Each ferroalloy constitutes an alloy of iron (less than 50%) and one or more other metals accordingly: Si, Mn, Cr, P, V, Ti, Nb, etc. Therefore ferroalloys are useful sources of these elements and usually have lower melting ranges than these pure elements and thus can be incorporated more readily in the molten steel. Main types and subtypes being:
Ferrosilicon -- FeSi 65 (Si ~65%), FeSi 45 (Si ~45%)
Ferromarganese -- FeMn 78 (Mn ~78%), FeMn 88 (Mn ~88%)
Ferrosilicomanganese -- MnSi17 (Mn/Si 65%/17%), MnSi22 (Mn/Si 65%/22%), MnSi25 (Mn/Si 65%/25%min)
Ferrosiliconchrome -- FeCrSi40 (Cr/Si 35%min/35-40%), FeCrSi48 (Cr/Si 35%min/42-55%)
Ferrochrome -- FeCr010, FeCr015, FeCr025 (Cr/C 66%min/0.10-0.25%)
Ferrochrome -- FeCr100, FeCr200 (Cr/C 66%min/1.00-2.00%)
Ferrochrome -- FeCr600, FeCr650, FeCr800, FeCr800, FeCr850, FeCr900 (Cr/C 66%min/6.00-9.00%)
Minimal order quantity is 1000MT because this is minimal capacity of a single blast furnace where Ferrous/Non-Ferrous Ore, Ore, Coke & Catalysts for requested Ductile Pig Iron or type of Ferroalloy are to be smelted. Please note: Any original production of Pig Iron at that or other factory is not open public process. Inquiry for particular production/offer/price has to show authentic information: 1) who (what company) is buyer/importer/consignee; 2) where (what bank) his payment is to come from: 3) how (in copies of docs) he bought/imported/consumed Pig Iron last time, to prove 1) and 2).
