Ferro-boron

Main uses. Calcium is important in steel production. It has a strong ability to alter the oxides and sulphides. Treatment with calcium modifies the melting points of inclusions which rapidly float out of the steel. Calcium is important in one method of producing a neodymium-iron alloy which is a neodymium ferro boron raw material (through, for instance, the reaction Nd203 + Ca + Fe — NdFe + byproducts). 

Ferro-alloys Master alloys containing a significant amount of bon and a few elements more or less soluble in molten bon which improve properties of bon and steels. As additives they give bon and steel better characteristics (increased tensile sbength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, etc.). For master alloy production carbothermic processes are used for large-scale ferro-sihcon, ferro-chromium, ferro-tungsten, ferro-manganese, ferro-nickel and metallothermic processes (mainly alumino and sihco-thermic) for ferro-titanium, ferro-vanadium, ferro-molybdenum, ferro-boron. 

Although compounds of boron are widely used in industry, the element itself is seldom if ever required. Ferro-boron, an alloy with iron, has been used to a limited extent in the manufacture of boron steels. 

Ferroboran. A ferro-alloy averaging 16.2% boron used as hardening agent in special steels. It also is an efficient deoxidizer.
