Ferro silicon is used as an essential alloy in the production of steel and cast iron. Ferrosilicon is used to remove oxygen from steel or as an alloying element to improve the final quality of the steel.
Ferro silicon can also be used as a basis for the manufacture of prealloys such as fermium. For the modification of melted malleable cast iron.
The main markets are alloys, stainless steel and carbon steel. One of the fastest growing categories of steel is in the stainless steel sector, including flat and long products. Its specific ferrosilicon consumption is 510 times higher than that of ordinary carbon steel.
Special ferrosilicon grades such as low aluminum, high purity and low carbon iron silicon. Can be used to produce special steel. Compared with ordinary ferrosilicon, it helps to maintain the content of inclusions, and the carbon content in the final steel is very low.
Ferro silicon is a common additive in steel smelting. It is also a deoxygenated product. In fact, there are many kinds of deoxidizers in steel smelting. Most of them use the affinity between silicon and oxygen. Therefore, most of the deoxidizer contains silicon.
In ferrosilicon, the silicon content is between 65-80%. At the same time, the content of aluminum and sulfur is also very important. Because it has a greater impact on different processes and requirements.
Typically the aluminum content is between 0.1 and 6% and the sulfur content is between 0.03 and 0.05. All the above indicators can be controlled in the production process of our factory. Products can be customized according to user requirements
