Ferronickel Market : Overview Ferronickel is an alloy of nickel and iron. It is a ferroalloy with 35% nickel and 65% iron. Ferronickel is obtained through carbothermic reduction of serpentine minerals such as limonite, garnierite, and serpentinite. It is a shiny metallic solid material. Nickel is the fifth common element on earth. It is naturally found primarily in oxide, sulfide, and silicate minerals. Nickel is a highly useful commercial element. It plays a key role in global industrial development. Aspects that make ferronickel valuable are its strength, high ductility, good thermal and electric conductivity, corrosion resistance, magnetic characteristics, and catalytic properties. Ferronickel is primarily used in the manufacture of austenitic stainless steels. These steels are non-magnetic, corrosion resistant and are extensively used group of stainless steels computing between 70-75% of global stainless outputs. The use of ferronickel has been highly innovative and value added...
