Ferrosilicon (FeSi) is an alloy of iron and silicon used as an industrial raw material in metallurgical processes. Its main applications include steelmaking and selected foundry operations.
Steelmaking applications
In suitable production processes, ferrosilicon may be used to reduce dissolved oxygen in molten steel and to introduce silicon as an alloying element. It is an established ferroalloy used in steel production.
Its role in foundries
Certain ferrosilicon grades may provide a silicon source or serve as components of specialized inoculant materials. Actual use depends on the grade and process requirements.
Technical characteristics
Ferrosilicon is available in different chemical compositions and particle sizes. Application suitability should be assessed using verified product specifications.
