On March 9, 2026, the reported export price of FeSi75 ferrosilicon from China was USD 1,150–1,170 per metric ton (MT) on an FOB Tianjin basis. The original market update recorded an increase of approximately USD 10/MT compared with the previous trading-period reference.
This page records the historical ferrosilicon 75 price per ton and its export quotation basis. The reported range is a dated market reference, not a current supplier offer. Actual purchasing prices depend on chemical composition, particle size, order quantity, packaging and delivery conditions.
China FeSi75 Export Price per Metric Ton on March 9, 2026
| Product | Grade | Price (USD/MT, FOB Tianjin) | Reported Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ferrosilicon | FeSi75 | 1,150–1,170 | +10 USD/MT |
Price reference date: March 9, 2026.
Price basis: FOB Tianjin, China. All prices are expressed in USD per metric ton, equivalent to 1,000 kg. The reported increase of USD 10/MT refers to the change stated in the original market update, rather than a verified daily transaction average.
How to Interpret the FeSi75 Price per Ton
The quoted USD 1,150–1,170/MT range represents a historical export market reference for FeSi75 from China. Buyers comparing international ferrosilicon prices should first confirm the unit of measurement and trade term.
FOB Tianjin: Under FOB terms, the seller delivers the goods on board the vessel nominated by the buyer at the named port of shipment and completes export clearance. The buyer normally arranges the main ocean freight and insurance. Therefore, an FOB quotation should not be compared directly with a CIF price without accounting for freight, insurance and other destination-related costs.
Price per metric ton: USD/MT means US dollars per metric ton (1,000 kg). When comparing supplier offers, make sure that all quotations use the same weight unit, product grade and delivery basis.
Historical versus current quotation: The March 9 price is useful for reviewing the market at that time. It should not be treated as the current FeSi75 selling price. Buyers should request a newly dated quotation before confirming an order.
What Affects the Price of Ferrosilicon 75 per Ton?
The market reference provides a price range for standard FeSi75. However, the final supplier quotation may differ according to the product specification and delivery requirements.
1. Silicon Content and Chemical Composition
The minimum silicon content of FeSi75 is an important purchasing specification. Buyers should also confirm aluminum, calcium, manganese, chromium, phosphorus, sulfur and carbon limits. Tighter impurity requirements may require additional production control and inspection, which can affect the quotation.
2. Particle Size and Fines Content
Ferrosilicon 75 is supplied in different physical forms, including lumps, granules and powder. Crushing, screening and particle-size control involve different processing requirements. Buyers should specify the required size range and acceptable fines and oversize percentages instead of relying only on a nominal particle-size description.
3. Order Quantity and Packaging
The requested quantity, bag size, jumbo bag requirements and loading arrangement affect the commercial offer. A bulk order may allow more efficient packaging and shipment arrangements, but a lower unit price should not be assumed automatically. Suppliers should quote against the actual order quantity and packing plan.
4. Delivery Terms and Destination
FOB, CFR and CIF quotations cover different cost responsibilities. The loading port, destination port, freight arrangement and shipment schedule should be confirmed before comparing offers from different suppliers.
5. Production Costs and Market Conditions
Ferrosilicon is produced in submerged arc furnaces, where electricity, quartzite, carbon reductants and iron-bearing raw materials contribute to production costs. Changes in production conditions, raw material availability and downstream steel mill purchasing can influence export market quotations.
What to Check Before Buying FeSi75
For industrial buyers, the lowest quoted price per ton is not necessarily the most economical option. A meaningful comparison requires equivalent chemical specifications, particle sizes and delivery conditions.
| Purchasing Item | Details to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Product Grade | FeSi75 and the required minimum silicon content |
| Chemical Composition | Si, Al, Ca, Mn, Cr, P, S and C limits |
| Particle Size | Required lump, granule or powder size distribution |
| Fines Tolerance | Acceptable undersize and oversize percentages |
| Quality Documents | Batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) |
| Order Quantity | Total metric tons and shipment arrangement |
| Packaging | 25 kg bags, 1 MT jumbo bags or agreed bulk packing |
| Trade Terms | FOB, CFR or CIF and the named port |
Buyers should request a quotation based on these details to ensure that different FeSi75 offers are commercially comparable. A batch-specific COA also helps verify whether the supplied material meets the agreed chemical specification.
