Ferro Silicon

Ferro Silicon is an alloy of iron and silicon, widely used in steelmaking and casting industries.

Composition: Typically contains 15% to 90% silicon, with the remainder being iron and trace impurities.

Significance: Essential for producing high-quality steel and cast iron, contributing to improved mechanical properties and reduced production costs.

Applications:

  • Steel Manufacturing: Acts as a deoxidizer and alloying agent to improve strength and durability.
  • Casting: Enhances fluidity and reduces shrinkage in molten metal.
  • Ferroalloy Production: Used as a raw material in producing other ferroalloys.
