Ferrous Ores

Explore the critical industry of ferrous ores, essential for the production of iron and steel. This guide provides insights into the types of ferrous ores, their extraction and processing methods, testing protocols to assess quality, and certifications that ensure environmental and quality compliance in the mining and metallurgical sectors.

Ferrous Ores Testing and Research Services

Contract Laboratory can help you with all your Ferrous Ores testing, analysis, scientific research and development, inspection, certification, engineering, failure investigation, and product development needs including:

  • Chemical Analysis: Determines the concentration of iron
  • manganese
  • chromium
  • nickel
  • and other valuable elements in the ore
  • Moisture Content Testing: Assesses the amount of water in ores which affects the weight and handling
  • particularly during transportation
  • Density Testing: Measures the density or specific gravity of the ore which influences mining and processing techniques
  • Particle Size Analysis: Determines the particle size distribution of the ore
  • important for processing efficiency and quality control
  • Metallurgical Testing: Includes tests like froth flotation
  • magnetic separation
  • and leaching to evaluate the effectiveness of extracting metals from the ore

Type of Ferrous Ores Products

Contract Laboratory can assist your company, academic institution, government agency or organization in outsourcing contract laboratories to perform testing, analysis, and product development for many Ferrous Ores finished products, processes, systems, in-process materials, raw materials and components such as:

  • Iron Ore: Includes magnetite (Fe3O4)
  • hematite (Fe2O3)
  • and limonite (FeO(OH)·nH2O). Iron ore is the primary source for steel manufacturing
  • Manganese Ore: Used to improve the strength
  • toughness
  • hardness
  • and wear resistance of steel
  • Chromite (Chromium Ore): Primarily used for the production of stainless steel and as an alloying material in superalloys
  • Nickel Ore: Utilized in the making of stainless steel and other nickel-based alloys to enhance toughness
  • strength at high and low temperatures
  • and resistance to corrosion

Ferrous Ores Test Methods and Standards

Contract Laboratory can help with testing, analysis, assays, evaluations, examinations, inspections and certifications to different Ferrous Ores test methods, standards, procedures or specifications.

  • ISO 4140 - FERROCHROMIUM AND FERROSILICOCHROMIUM - DETERMINATION OF CHROMIUM CONTENT - POTENTIOMETRIC METHOD
  • ISO 4139 - FERROSILICON - DETERMINATION OF ALUMINIUM CONTENT - FLAME ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROMETRIC METHOD
