ferrosilicon plant

Ferrosilicon is one kind of alloy which composed of iron and silicon, ferrosilicon plant always produced it by using silica, steel and coke as raw materials, silicon reduced by high temperature of 1500-1800 degrees . It is an important alloy variety in the smelting industry. 

The applicant of ferrosilicon is very important, there are some as following:

(1)Used as deoxidizer and alloying agent in steelmaking industry. In order to obtain steel with qualified chemical composition and ensure the quality of steel, deoxidation must be carried out in the final stage of steelmaking. The chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is very large, so ferrosilicon is a strong deoxidizer in steelmaking for precipitation and diffusion.

(2)Used as an inoculant and a nodularizing agent 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, and has excellent casting properties and much better shock resistance than steel.

(3)The ferro silicon 75 is often used in the high-temperature smelting process of metal magnesium in the pidgeon process of magnesium smelting. The magnesium in Cao.MgO is replaced, and about 1.2tons of ferrosilicon is consumed for each ton of magnesium metal produced. It plays a great role in the production of magnesium metal.

Anyang Huatuo Metallurgy Co.,Ltd as one professional ferrosilicon plant always supply the ferro silicon in the grade of 75 and 72, the steelmaking industry, foundry industry and ferroalloy in dustry are the largest users of ferrosilicon, together, they consume about 90% more ferrosilicon. Among various grades of ferrosilicon, 75% ferrosilicon is currently the most widely used, in the steelmaking industry, about 3-5kg of 75% ferrosilicon is consumed for every 1ton of steel produced. It can be processed into the size 10-100mm or 10-50mm and packed in the 1MT big bags, if you have any requirement of ferro silicon can consult us.
