Ferrosilicon For Steelmaking And Cast Iron

Ferrosilicon is an iron alloy composed of iron and silicon. Ferrosilicon is an iron-silicon alloy made by smelting in an electric furnace using coke, steel scraps, quartz (or silica) as raw materials;

Uses of ferrosilicon:

Ferrosilicon is widely used in the steel industry, foundry industry and other industrial production. Ferrosilicon is an essential deoxidizer in the steelmaking industry. In steelmaking, ferrosilicon is used for precipitation deoxidation and diffusion deoxidation. Brick iron is also used as an alloying agent in steelmaking. Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can significantly improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of the steel, increase the magnetic permeability of the steel, and reduce the hysteresis loss of transformer steel. Low-aluminum ferrosilicon is a special-purpose ferrosilicon variety that has emerged in recent years. Its smelting process is complex and the product has high added value. It is an area that various ferrosilicon manufacturers are actively exploring.
