What is ferrosilicon?

Ferrosilicon is a ferroalloy composed of iron and silicon. Ferrosilicon is a ferrosilicon alloy made of coke, steel chips, quartz (or silica) as raw materials and smelted in an electric furnace. As silicon and oxygen are easy to synthesize silicon dioxide, ferrosilicon is often used as deoxidizer in steelmaking. At the same time, since a large amount of heat is released when SiO2 is generated, it is also beneficial to increase the temperature of molten steel while deoxidizing. At the same time, ferrosilicon can also be used as an alloying element additive, which is widely used in low alloy structural steel, spring steel, bearing steel, heat-resistant steel and electrical silicon steel.

Ferrosilicon is commonly used as a reducing agent in ferroalloy production and chemical industry. At the same time, what are the uses of ferrosilicon?

1. It is used as deoxidizer and alloying agent in steelmaking industry. Second, it is used as inoculant and nodulizer in cast iron industry.

2. It is used as reducing agent in ferroalloy production.

3. It is used as reducing agent in ferroalloy production.

4. Other purposes. The ground or atomized ferrosilicon powder can be used as the suspended phase in the mineral processing industry. It can be used as the coating of welding rod in the welding rod manufacturing industry. High silicon ferrosilicon can be used to manufacture silicone and other products in the chemical industry. Among these applications, steel making industry, casting industry and ferroalloy industry are among the users of ferrosilicon.
