Product Details
High-Grade Chromite Ore (44%+ Cr₂O₃) from Pakistan
High-grade chromite is the most sought-after classification of chromite ore in global markets. It is the primary feedstock for producing ferrochrome alloys the essential input for stainless steel manufacturing and is also used in specialty metallurgical, refractory, and chemical applications that demand the highest chromium content and lowest impurity levels. Pakistan’s Balochistan province is home to one of the world’s most significant podiform chromite deposits, yielding ore with Cr₂O₃ content reaching up to 54%.
Available Forms
Hand-picked lumps: 20–150 mm (highest grade, 48–54% Cr₂O₃)
Crushed lumps: 10–50 mm, 0–10 mm
High-grade concentrates (spiral/gravity): 0–3 mm
Metallurgical-grade fines: 0–10 mm
Custom sizing available
Industrial Uses
Ferrochrome production: Primary feedstock for high-carbon ferrochrome (HC FeCr), medium-carbon ferrochrome (MC FeCr), and low-carbon ferrochrome (LC FeCr) smelting in submerged arc furnaces
Stainless steel manufacturing: Via ferrochrome, the essential chromium source for all grades of stainless steel (300 series, 400 series, duplex)
Specialty alloys: Chromium input for superalloys, tool steels, high-speed steels, and heat-resistant alloys used in aerospace, turbine, and automotive applications
High-performance refractories: Premium chrome-mag and mag-chrome bricks for AOD converters, VOD vessels, and other severe-duty steelmaking applications
Chromium metal production: Aluminothermic or electrolytic reduction of high-purity chromite to produce chromium metal for superalloys and surface coatings
Specialty chemicals: High-grade chromite as feedstock for chromium chemicals where low phosphorus and sulfur are critical
Quality Assurance
Each lot includes a Certificate of Analysis reporting Cr₂O₃, FeO, SiO₂, Al₂O₃, MgO, CaO, P, S, moisture, LOI, and particle size distribution. Multiple lots can be blended to meet a target Cr₂O₃ specification. Pre-shipment samples are provided for buyer approval. Third-party inspection (SGS, Intertek, Alfred H. Knight, or equivalent) can be arranged on request. Umpire sampling and analysis provisions are available for large contracts.
Why Source From Pakistan?
Pakistan is a globally significant producer of high-grade chromite ore, with Balochistan’s podiform chromite deposits consistently yielding 44–54% Cr₂O₃ material. The country has exported metallurgical-grade chromite for decades to ferrochrome smelters across China, Turkey, South Africa, and Europe. Competitive mine-gate pricing, established export logistics through Karachi, and the ability to supply both containerized and bulk vessel quantities make Pakistan a reliable origin for ferrochrome producers seeking consistent high-grade feed. DaaTrade consolidates supply from multiple verified mines, manages grade blending to target specifications, and handles all export documentation and shipping coordination through one desk.

Frequently Asked Questions
A: Our high-grade chromite ore ranges from 44% to 54% Cr₂O₃ depending on the mine source and form. Hand-picked lumps typically assay 48–54%, while crushed lumps and concentrates range from 44–48%. We can blend multiple sources to achieve a target Cr₂O₃ specification within this range. The exact chemistry is confirmed by the Certificate of Analysis for each lot, and pre-shipment samples are always sent for buyer approval before dispatch.
A: Our high-grade chromite has a Cr:Fe ratio of 2.5:1 to 3.5:1. This ratio is critical for ferrochrome smelters because it determines the chromium recovery efficiency and the quality of the ferrochrome produced. A higher Cr:Fe ratio means more chromium per unit of iron, resulting in better smelting economics, lower energy consumption, and higher-quality ferrochrome output. Stainless steel producers and specialty alloy makers prefer ore with a Cr:Fe ratio above 2.8:1.
A: We handle shipments from single 20' containers (approx. 25 MT) to bulk vessel parcels of 5,000–25,000 MT. Containerized shipments use 1 MT jumbo bags or 50 kg bags. Bulk vessel loading is arranged at Karachi Port with draft survey and independent weight verification. For annual supply contracts, we can arrange monthly or quarterly shipments at agreed volumes and grade specifications. Please specify your quantity and preferred shipping method when requesting a quote.
