Chromite is an Iron chromium oxide found naturally in the earth's crust. It is by far the most industrially important mineral for the production of metallic chromium, used in the production of Stainless and Tool Steel. It is also used as a refractory material because of its high heat stability. The chromium extracted from chromite is used in Chrome plating & alloying to produce corrosion-resistant superalloys. Chromium is also used as a pigment for glass, glazes & paints and as an oxidizing agent for tanning leather. The largest producers of Chrome ore are South Africa, India & Kazakhstan.
Growing construction industry
The global Building and construction industry is particularly creating a positive impact and this industry is expected to grow above global gross domestic product (GDP) growth over the next decade. The building and construction sectors are some of the largest sectors in the world economy. Building and construction industry spending worldwide amounted to 11.4 trillion U.S. dollars. Building and construction expenditures are expected to reach 14 trillion U.S. dollars in 2025.
Furthermore, the global building & construction industry gets opportunities in residential, non-residential, and infrastructure. Additionally, there are some factors that help to grow this industry such as population increase in emerging countries, necessary upgrades to infrastructure in developed countries, and the trend toward increased residential development. Chromite sand has dominated the building sector. It is widely used in the construction of roads and bridges. It is also widely used in steel components such as chrome steel, chrome-nickel, and manganese steel which plays a significant role in building construction. Thus, the market for chromite sand is rising.
The chromite sand demand increasing owing to its expanding usage. To fulfill this need mining and processing are rising. However, Chromite mining dust and water spills containing poisonous hexavalent chromium produce the most unfavourable conditions in water bodies and soil, rendering them unsuitable for human and plant use. This causes an impact on the chromite sand market. Similarly, because of this impact, the government has set regulations that could limit the production process activities.
The screen distribution will have an effect on chromite sand formed in prepared sand mixes for the core room or green-sand molding applications. The CastTherm chromite sand family is a naturally occurring, sub-angular chromite aggregate mined in conjunction with Rand York Minerals in the heart of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa. The available screen distributions and the average grain-fineness number have made these next-generation chromite sands useful for a variety of alloys which will drive the demand for Chromite Sand in near the future.
Chromite sand has been chosen and utilized in different industries because of its exceptional blend of characteristics:
High thermal conductivity: Chromite sand has a higher thermal conductivity compared to other foundry moulding sands available in the market. As a result, it mildly cools the surface and creates a thicker solidified skin, which leads to better casting surface quality and minimizes the occurrence of casting defects.
Low thermal expansion: Having a lower thermal expansion usually leads to better dimensional stability in the final castings.
Wetability resistance to molten steel: Chromite is utilized for its capability to prevent metal penetration from molten steel and oxides in the metal. This is primarily attributed to chromite's ability to solidify the oxides, making them less fluid upon contact with the mold.
Basic to neutral pH: The neutral pH of chromite minimizes the chances of reaction defects, which occur when the acidic silica sand molds interact with the basic nature of manganese steel castings.
Chrome sand is the ideal material for hot metal casting; it is also a great ladle filler, preventing molten steel from coming into touch with the ladle sliding gate mechanism. Chrome sand is also utilized in the creation of magnesite chrome refractory bricks, which typically contain more than 33% chromium, and chrome conundrum refractory bricks, which provide resistance to abrasion and high temperatures.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption and fear worldwide, affecting daily activities such as work and outdoor recreation in certain regions. The chromite sand industry has also been impacted, particularly in downstream uses. The manufacturing industry has experienced significant effects due to the pandemic, which began approximately nine months after the first cases were identified in Wuhan, China. Travel restrictions, social isolation, commodity sales restrictions, and reduced customer spending have all led to a sharp decrease in sales. Consequently, businesses have struggled to cover fixed expenditures without generating revenue from sales. The global mining industry was also hit early and hard by the pandemic, with mine, port, rail, and transportation infrastructure shutdowns leading to stranded shipments. Inconsistent restrictions imposed by different countries have further negatively affected the chromite sand market.
