High End Ferro Silicon Of Various Sizes

The following are the common application areas of ferrosilicon:

As a source of silicon to reduce metals from their oxides and to deoxidize steel and other ferrous alloys

Manufacture of other ferroalloys

Manufacture of silicon, corrosion-resistant and high-temperature resistant ferrous silicon alloys, and silicon steel for electromotors and transformer cores

Manufacture of cast iron, ferrosilicon is used for inoculation of the iron to accelerate graphitization

Manufacture of prealloys like magnesium ferrosilicon, used for modification of melted malleable iron.

As an additive to cast irons for controlling the initial content of silicon

In steel melting, casting, mineral processing and melting rod industry

Used in the Pidgeon process to make magnesium from dolomite

For heavy media separation and atomization

Used in casting, melting and related metallurgy industry

For production of semiconductor pure silicon in electric industry and silicon copper in chemistry industry.

What are the types of ferrosilicon?

Ferrosilicon is often categorized according to the levels of various minor components, depending on the application requirements. These categories include:

Low-carbon ferrosilicon and ultra-low-carbon ferrosilicon – Used to avoid re-introducing carbon during the manufacture of stainless steel and electrical steel.

Low-titanium (high-purity) ferrosilicon – Used to avoid TiN and TiC inclusions in electrical steel and some special steels.

Low-aluminium ferrosilicon – Used to avoid the formation of hard Al₂O₃ and Al₂O₃–CaO inclusions in a range of steel types.

Special ferrosilicon – A general term that covers a range of tailor-made products containing other alloying elements.
