Ferrosilicon is divided into 21 grades based on silicon and its impurity content. Used as deoxidizer and alloying agent in steelmaking industry. Used as inoculant and spheroidizing agent in the cast iron industry. Used as reducing agent in ferroalloy production. 75# ferrosilicon is often used in the high-temperature smelting process of metallic magnesium in the Pidgeon process to replace the magnesium in CaO.MgO. Every ton of metallic magnesium produced consumes about 1.2 tons of ferrosilicon. For metallic magnesium Production plays a big role.
Ferrosilicon is an iron alloy composed of iron and silicon. Ferrosilicon is an iron-silicon alloy made from coke, steel scraps, quartz (or silica) as raw materials and smelted in an electric furnace. Since silicon and oxygen easily combine to form silica, ferrosilicon is often used as a deoxidizer in steelmaking. At the same time, since SiO2 releases a large amount of heat when it 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 and is widely used in low-alloy structural steel, spring steel, bearing steel, heat-resistant steel and electrical silicon steel. Ferrosilicon is often used as a reducing agent in ferroalloy production and chemical industry.
