- Unit: USD/ton
- Product: Ferrosilicon
- Grade: 72
- Quotation Range: 1020–1040
- Price Change: -- (Not specified in the table)
- Term: FOB Tianjin Port
- Update Date: December 19, 2025
According to the latest export quotation table, Ferrosilicon 72 (FeSi 72) is currently quoted at USD 1020–1040/ton on FOB Tianjin Port terms. The "Price Change" column is shown as "--", which means the table does not specify an up/down movement for this update. For overseas buyers, FeSi 72 remains one of the most widely traded grades due to its balanced silicon content, stable metallurgical performance, and practical cost level for routine alloying and deoxidation.
1) What FeSi 72 Is Typically Used For
FeSi 72 is commonly selected by steelmakers, foundries, and alloy users who need a reliable silicon source for:
- Deoxidation during steelmaking to improve cleanliness and reduce oxygen-related defects
- Alloying to adjust silicon level in carbon steel and certain alloy steels
- Foundry applications where stable feeding and predictable yield matter
Because FeSi 72 is a mainstream grade, buyers often prioritize supply stability, consistent sizing, and documentation rather than chasing extremely tight impurity limits that are more typical for higher-end specifications.
2) How to Read the Quotation Range (1020–1040)
A quotation range is more useful than a single number because it reflects real negotiation factors. In practice, your final executable price within USD 1020–1040/ton FOB Tianjin may depend on:
- Order quantity: container quantity vs trial lots
- Size requirements: lumps vs granules, and whether strict screening is required
- Packing: 1MT big bag, 25kg/50kg bags, palletizing, inner liners, moisture control
- Inspection and documents: COA per lot, third-party inspection, loading supervision, photo/video records
- Shipment window: tighter loading windows can reduce flexibility and affect pricing
For buyers focusing on standard trade flow and flexible size range, a quote closer to the lower band can be possible. If you require stricter screening, reduced fines, or more complete inspection support, quotes may trend toward the upper band.
3) FOB Tianjin Port: What's Included (and What's Not)
Because the term is FOB Tianjin Port, the quotation generally includes:
- Goods prepared for export and delivered to Tianjin Port for loading
But it typically does not include:
- Ocean freight, marine insurance, destination port charges, inland delivery in the buyer's country
When comparing offers, overseas buyers should evaluate the total landed cost, not only the FOB number. Even a small difference in packing method or container loading plan can change damage rate and net effective yield, which directly affects cost-per-effective-silicon.
4) Buyer Tips: How to Request a Clean, Executable Offer
To convert this reference range into a firm quotation, buyers should specify:
- Target Si content and any limits for C, Al, Ca, P, S if required
- Size: e.g., 10–50mm or 50–100mm, and acceptable undersize/oversize tolerance
- Packing: big bags vs small bags, labeling, moisture protection
- Destination and shipment window for realistic logistics planning
- With these details confirmed, suppliers can provide a stable COA-based offer with consistent lot management.
FAQ (FeSi 72)
Q1: What does "Price Change: --" mean?
A: It means the table does not provide a change value for this update; it should not be interpreted as up or down.
Q2: Why is there a price range instead of one fixed price?
A: Final price depends on quantity, sizing, packing, inspection requirements, and shipment schedule.
Q3: What size is common for FeSi 72 export?
A: Many buyers choose lump sizes such as 10–50mm or 50–100mm. Exact sizing should match your feeding method.
Q4: What documents can you provide for import clearance and QC?
A: Commonly COA per lot, packing list, invoice, bill of lading, and loading photos; third-party inspection can be arranged.
Q5: Is FeSi 72 suitable for both steelmaking and foundry use?
A: Yes, FeSi 72 is widely used for deoxidation and alloying; suitability depends on your spec limits and process needs.
