Ferro Silicon is a kind of ferroalloy which is composed of ferrum and silicon. Ferro
Silicon uses coke, quartz (or silica) as raw materials and is made by electric furnace.
Because silicon and oxygen are easily compound into SiO2, the ferrosilicon is often
used as deoxidizer in steelmaking.
Application
1. Ferrosilicon is often used as deoxidizer in steel- making.
2. Ferrosilicon also can be used as alloy elements join agent, which is widely used in
low alloy steel, non-ferrous metal, bearing steel, heat-resistant steels and electrician
silicon-steel.
3. It can be used as a reductant in ferroalloy production and chemical industry.
4. In iron industry it can be used as inoculant and nodulizer.
