Latest Export Price Of Ferrosilicon From Zhenan, China, On December 9th

At ZhenAn, we supply ferrosilicon 72 and ferrosilicon 75 for export from China, with quotations based on the agreed grade, chemical composition, particle size, packing and shipment requirements. The reference quotations listed below are USD 1,020–1,040/MT for FeSi72 and USD 1,090–1,120/MT for FeSi75, on an FOB Tianjin Port basis.

These figures are reference quotations from this report, not guaranteed current offers. The price-change field in the supplied data is marked "--", so no increase or decrease can be established from the figures alone. If you are comparing suppliers or preparing your next shipment, we recommend confirming the specification and delivery details before making a purchasing decision.

Important: The midpoints are calculated from the supplied ranges for comparison only. Please contact us to confirm the quotation applicable to your order.

The two grades serve similar metallurgical purposes, but their different silicon contents can affect your material consumption, cost and chemical control. Before requesting a quotation, it helps to identify which grade matches your production requirements.

FeSi72: A Practical Choice for Routine Steelmaking

Ferrosilicon 72 is widely used for deoxidation and silicon addition in steelmaking. If your process specification permits this grade, FeSi72 may offer a suitable balance between silicon content and purchase cost.

When you request FeSi72 from us, specify the silicon requirement, critical impurity limits and particle size. These details help us determine whether the requested product specification matches your application.

FeSi75: For Applications Requiring Higher Silicon Content

Ferrosilicon 75 contains a higher nominal proportion of silicon than FeSi72. Depending on your target steel composition and process recovery, this can reduce the amount of alloy required to deliver a specified silicon addition.

However, higher silicon content does not automatically mean lower impurities or better recovery. You should compare the actual chemical analysis, size distribution and process requirements before deciding whether the price premium is justified.

How Much Is the Price Difference?

Using the supplied quotation midpoints, FeSi75 is USD 75/MT more expensive than FeSi72. For a hypothetical 20 MT order, this represents a USD 1,500 difference in the quoted FOB material budget.

This calculation does not establish which grade offers the lower production cost. To compare value more accurately, consider the actual silicon content, recovery rate, addition requirements and the cost of meeting your final chemical specification.

The reference price range is only the starting point. When we prepare a quotation, the following order details help establish the applicable product specification and delivery requirements.

For example, an order for FeSi75 in 10–50 mm lumps with a specified aluminum limit is not necessarily equivalent to an order for a different size range and chemical tolerance. To compare supplier quotations fairly, use the same grade, size, packing, inspection scope and delivery basis.

FOB Tianjin Port identifies the named loading port and the agreed delivery basis. Under an FOB contract, the seller delivers the goods on board the vessel at the named port, while the buyer generally arranges the main ocean freight and any required insurance.

When comparing export offers, check the Incoterm, named port and agreed contract terms carefully. A price quoted on an FOB basis cannot be compared directly with a CIF destination-port price without accounting for the additional costs included in the latter.

Before confirming your order, we recommend aligning on:

• The grade and chemical composition.
• The particle size and permitted fines.
• The packing configuration and loading requirements.
• The shipment schedule and destination port.
• The batch COA and any agreed inspection requirements.

At ZhenAn, we supply FeSi72 and FeSi75 for steelmaking and foundry applications. We work with customers to confirm the required grade, chemical specification, particle size and export packing before finalizing an order.

We can discuss both spot requirements and recurring shipments. If you have a specific purchasing specification, sharing it with your inquiry helps us assess the product configuration and provide a more relevant quotation.

To request a quotation, please prepare the following information:

• Product: FeSi72 or FeSi75.
• Size: Required particle size in millimeters.
• Quantity: Total metric tons.
• Packing: Preferred bag type and packing weight.
• Destination: Destination port and requested shipment window.
• Quality requirements: Chemical limits, COA and inspection requirements.

What is the ZhenAn ferrosilicon export price?

The reference quotations supplied for this report are USD 1,020–1,040/MT for FeSi72 and USD 1,090–1,120/MT for FeSi75, FOB Tianjin Port. Contact us to confirm the offer applicable to your order.

Why does FeSi75 cost more than FeSi72?

FeSi75 has a higher nominal silicon content. The quotation difference also needs to be evaluated against the actual chemical specification, product size, process recovery and order terms.

Does the listed price include shipping to my country?

No. The listed basis is FOB Tianjin Port, not a destination-port price. The main ocean freight and any required insurance are generally arranged by the buyer under an FOB contract.

Can I request a customized ferrosilicon specification?

Yes. You can provide your required grade, chemical limits, particle size, packing and quantity so we can review your specifications and confirm the available options.

What information do I need to get an accurate quotation?

Provide the grade, particle size, order quantity, packing preference, destination port, shipment window and any specific chemical or inspection requirements.
