Ferrosilicon is an alloy of iron and silicon.Ferrosilicon is coke, steel chips, quartz (or silica) as raw materials, smelted by electric furnace made of iron silicon alloy.Common uses of ferrosilicon are as follows:

ferrosilicon is an essential deoxidizer in steelmaking industry.In steelmaking, ferrosilicate is used for precipitation deoxidation and diffusion deoxidation.Brick iron is also used as an alloying agent in steelmaking.

ferrosilicon Used as inoculant and spheroidizer in cast iron industry.In the production of ductile iron, ferrosilicon is an important inoculant (to help precipitate graphite) and spheroidizer.

ferrosilicon used as reducing agent in ferroalloy production.Not only is the chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen great, but the carbon content of high silicon ferrosilicon is very low.Therefore, high silicon ferrosilicon (or siliceous alloy) is a commonly used reducing agent in the production of low carbon ferroalloy in the ferroalloy industry.
