Ferro Alloys Raw Materials Ferro Silicon FeSi 75/65 Used Casting
Deoxidizer
Ferrosilicon is an alloy composed primarily of iron (Fe) and
silicon (Si). It is produced by melting a mixture of iron ore,
silicon dioxide, and coke or charcoal in an electric arc furnace.
The resulting alloy is commonly used as a deoxidizer and an
alloying agent in the production of steel, as well as in other
industrial applications.
Ferrosilicon is also used in the production of cast iron, as it
improves the fluidity and castability of the molten metal. It has
applications in the manufacturing of various steel products,
including automotive parts, construction materials, and electrical
transformers. Furthermore, ferrosilicon is employed in the
production of certain types of ferroalloys, abrasives, and even in
the chemical industry as a reducing agent.
Function
Alloying element: Ferrosilicon is added to steel and iron to
introduce silicon as an alloying element. This addition can enhance
the material's strength, hardness, and magnetic properties. It is
commonly used in the production of stainless steel, electrical
steel, and other specialty alloys.
Deoxidizer: Ferrosilicon is commonly used as a deoxidizing agent in
the production of steel and cast iron. It reacts with oxygen and
other impurities present in the molten metal, reducing them and
preventing the formation of defects in the final product.

Applications
Ferrosilicon has various applications in different industries. Some
of its key applications include:
1. Steel Production: Ferrosilicon is extensively used in the
steelmaking process as a deoxidizer and alloying agent. It helps
remove impurities like oxygen, sulfur, and phosphorus from molten
steel, improving its quality and properties. It also enhances the
strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance of steel.
2. Foundry Industry: Ferrosilicon is used in foundries for the
production of iron and steel castings. It helps control the carbon
content and improves the fluidity of the molten metal during
casting.
