Ferrosilicon Ferroalloy
Ferrosilicon is an alloy of iron and silicon with a silicon content from 15% to 90%. It is used as a deoxidizer in steelmaking, a nodulizer in ductile iron production, and an alloying agent.
Technical Specifications
Product Overview
Ferrosilicon Ferroalloy
Ferrosilicon is a crucial ferroalloy composed of iron and silicon, typically containing between 15% and 90% silicon by weight. Produced through submerged arc furnace smelting of quartz, coke, and iron materials, it serves as a vital component in metallurgical processes. This versatile material acts as a deoxidizer in steelmaking and a nodulizer in ductile iron production, while also being essential for manufacturing corrosion-resistant alloys and silicon steel.
