What is ferrosilicon?

Ferrosilicon (FeSi) is an iron-silicon alloy widely used in steelmaking for deoxidation and alloying. It enhances the strength, durability, and performance of steel. The most common grade, FeSi70, contains 70% silicon, but silicon content can range from 15% to 90%, depending on the application.

How is ferrosilicon made?

Ferrosilicon is produced in Submerged Arc Furnaces (SAF) by reducing silica (SiO₂) with coke in the presence of iron, usually sourced from steel scrap or iron ore. It is typically available in metallic grey lumps or briquettes.

Uses of Ferrosilicon in Steelmaking

Ferrosilicon plays a crucial role in steel manufacturing by:

Deoxidation: Removes oxygen from molten steel, preventing unwanted inclusions.
Alloying: Enhances hardness, strength, and corrosion resistance.
Slag Reduction: Helps recover valuable elements like chromium in stainless steel production
Energy Efficiency: In some processes, ferrosilicon is burned to generate additional heat, reducing energy costs.
