Izindlela zokukhiqiza i-carbon ferrochrome ephezulu zifaka indlela yesithando somlilo kagesi, indlela yesithando somlilo (i-blast furnace), indlela ye-plasma kanye nendlela yokunciphisa ukuncibilika. Indlela yesithando somlilo we-shaft manje ikhiqiza kuphela ingxubevange ye-chromium ephansi (Cr <30%), okuqukethwe kwe-chromium ephakeme (okufana ne-Cr> 60%) yenqubo yokukhiqiza isithando somlilo kusesigabeni socwaningo; izindlela ezimbili zokugcina ziyacutshungulwa ohlelweni olusafufusa; ngakho-ke, iningi le-ferrochrome enekhabhoni ephezulu yokuhweba kanye ne-ferrochrome eyenziwe kabusha isetshenziswa ekukhiqizeni izithando zikagesi (i-mineral furnace) indlela.
(1) Isithando somlilo sikagesi sisebenzisa ugesi, umthombo wamandla ohlanzeke kunawo wonke. Eminye imithombo yamandla njengamalahle, i-coke, uwoyela ongahluziwe, igesi yemvelo, njll. nakanjani izoletha izici ezihambisana nokungcola enqubweni yokusansimbi. Izithando zomlilo zikagesi kuphela ezingakhiqiza ama-alloys ahlanzekile.
(2) Ugesi uwukuphela komthombo wamandla ongathola izimo zokushisa eziphakeme ngokunganaki.
(3) Isithando somlilo sikagesi singabona kalula izimo ze-thermodynamic ezifana ne-oxygen partial pressure kanye ne-nitrogen partial pressure edingwa ukusabela okuhlukahlukene kwe-metallurgical njengokunciphisa, ukucwengwa kanye ne-nitriding.
