Low price ferrosilicon for foundry

What role does ferrosilicon play in casting?

Ferrosilicon is the iron alloy ferrosilicon and silicon. Ferrosilicon is an iron-silicon alloy made of coke, steel scrap, quartz (or silica) as raw materials and smelted by electric furnace. Since silicon and oxygen are easily synthesized silica, ferrosilicon is used as a deoxidizer in steelmaking. At the same time, ferrosilicon can also be developed as an alloy design element and can be added as an additive. It is widely used in low-alloy structural steel, spring steel, bearing steel, heat-resistant steel and electrical silicon steel products. And in industry, it is often used as a reducing agent.

Ferrosilicon is an inoculant and spheroidizer in the cast iron industry. Cast iron is an important metal material in modern industry. It is cheaper than steel, easy to melt and smelt, has excellent casting properties and better shock resistance than steel. Especially ductile iron, its mechanical system performance can reach or approach the mechanical equipment performance of steel.
