The invention relates to a method of producing ferrochromium by the granulation of a melt comprising the steps of providing a ferrochromium melt comprising (wt. %): C: 1 – 9; 5 Cr: 25 – 70 and Si: ≤ 2.0. The method includes the steps of feeding the melt to a distribution unit, subjecting the melt to granulation by disintegrating the melt above and/or within cooling water held in a cooling tank, solidifying the disintegrated melt within the cooling water, thereby obtaining a granulated ferrochromium material with a mean size in the range of 12-50 mm wherein the amount of fines having a size of less 10 than 4 mm is limited to 7 %. |
