What's the application of ferro silicon?
Apr 12, 2022
Ferro silicon has become a widely used material due to its good oxophilicity, sulphurophilicity, reducibility and other properties. The application research of ferro silicon alloys in the fields of steelmaking, casting, metal and ferro alloy production is reviewed mainly from the application point of view.
1)It is mainly used as a deoxidizer in the field of steelmaking.
2)It is used as an inoculant in the foundry industry.
3)It is also used as a reducing agent in the production of some ferro alloys and metal magnesium.
4)In other fields, ferro silicon is also used to produce photovoltaic silicon, electrode materials, etc. Finally, the application and development trend of ferro silicon is prospected.
