Chromium
There are many different types of chrome used in the metal casting industry. We supply high carbon ferrochrome, various low carbon ferrochrome, and aluminothermic chrome. The kind of chrome used for metal casting is very dependent on the grade of metal you are attempting to produce.
Chrome is added to steel for its corrosion resistance, improved hardenability, wear resistance, and high-temperature strengths. When chrome is added to iron, you create chrome carbides that are very abrasion-resistant. Superalloy producers will use aluminothermic chrome or pure chrome because they have a grade that has no iron or extremely low iron tolerances.
Low Carbon FeCr consist of .1, .05, .025, .015 carbon content. High carbon FeCr is anywhere from six to eight percent carbon.

About Us
Carpenter Brothers, Inc. is the leading supplier of equipment, consumables, and technical expertise for the metal casting industry. Founded in 1917, by Everett and Milton Carpenter, the brothers were able to use their unique foundry experiences to solve the problem of the day: a reliable sand source. They got their foot in the door by selling natural bonded molding sand, which was mined by hand, loaded into horse-drawn carts, and then delivered to customers. Not only did they sell the sand, but their technical expertise was readily available for all customers, big or small, to help manufacture the best castings. After surviving The Great Depression, Carpenter Brothers, Inc. slowly increased the number of products it distributed and expanded its sales territory into what it is today.
Carpenter Brothers, Inc. has committed itself to its customer's success by providing exceptional service to go along with the superior products and equipment they supply. With multiple warehouses around the United States we can get you the products you need when you need them. Our logistics team can handle getting your order to you by truck, plane, or train. Our technical sales and engineering staff all have experience in the industry, so when you buy from Carpenter Brothers you gain access to all of our knowledge.
