Standard grade ferrosilicon for special steelmaking

Aug 29, 2022

Ferro silicon is used as a deoxidizer in steelmaking. Since silicon and oxygen are easily synthesized into silica, ferro silicon is often used as a deoxidizer in steelmaking. Ferro silicon 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.

Ferro silicon is an iron-silicon alloy made of coke, steel scraps and quartz as raw materials and smelted in an electric furnace.

Ferro silicon is an indispensable deoxidizer in the steelmaking industry. In torch steel, ferro silicon is used for precipitation deoxidation and diffusion deoxidation. Ferro silicon contains a small amount of phosphorus-containing metal compounds, such as calcium phosphide, etc. When transported by vehicles or stored in warehouses, if it is damp, it will release phosphine, which will poison the people in the warehouse or around.
