•Deoxidation: In molten steel, Si reacts with O to form silica, which floats as slag, removing dissolved gases and preventing porosity.
•Alloying: Silicon enhances hardenability, strength, and elastic modulus in structural and tool steels.
•Graphite control: In cast irons, FeSi 75 modifies graphite morphology, preventing brittle structures and improving ductility.
•Welding: Acts as a scavenger for oxygen and helps produce clean, strong weld beads with smooth contours.
•Electrical steels: Si improves magnetic permeability and reduces hysteresis losses, critical for transformers and electric motors.

•Standard FeSi 75: General purpose for steel deoxidation and alloying.
•Low Al grade: Used when aluminium pickup must be minimized (e.g., in deep‑drawing steels).
•High Purity grade: Required for electrical steels, stainless steels, and other high‑grade alloys where trace elements affect performance.
•Briquette form: Easier to handle and dose automatically; reduces airborne dust during charging.
•Choose grade based on target silicon level, acceptable impurity profile, and process requirements (e.g., powder for rapid dissolution, briquette for controlled feeding).
•Matching grade to application ensures optimal metallurgical results and cost efficiency.
These grades make Iron Silicon 75 adaptable to a wide range of steel, foundry, and advanced material applications.

•Composition: FeSi 75 contains iron, altering physical properties and reducing cost.
•Reactivity: Pure silicon is more reactive; FeSi 75 is less prone to fuming and oxidation during addition to molten metal.
•Applications: Silicon metal is for high‑purity tech uses; FeSi 75 is for bulk metallurgy where iron contamination is acceptable or beneficial.
•Cost: FeSi 75 is cheaper for achieving silicon's metallurgical effects in steel and iron production.
