Where Does Ferro Silicon Come From? How Is It Made?

Ferrosilicon is an iron alloy composed of iron and silicon.

Ferro silicon is also called silicon iron. It is an iron-silicon alloy made from coke, steel scraps, quartz (or silica) as raw materials and smelted in an electric furnace.

It is widely used in steel industry, foundry industry and other industrial production.

A ferroalloy composed of iron and silicon (using silica, steel, and coke as raw materials, the silicon reduced by 1500-1800 degrees high temperature is melted in molten iron to form a ferrosilicon alloy).

It is an important alloy variety in the smelting industry.

Smelting: Ferro silicon is made from coke, steel scraps, quartz (or silica) as raw materials and smelted in an electric furnace.

When refining ferrosilicon 75 traditionally, silicon is reduced from silica containing SIO2.

Most of the smelting of ferrosilicon uses metallurgical coke as the reducing agent, and steel scraps are the regulator of ferrosilicon.

In the steelmaking industry, ferro silicon powder is often used as a heating agent for steel ingot caps to improve the quality and recovery rate of steel ingots by taking advantage of the fact that ferrosilicon powder can release a large amount of heat when burned at high temperatures.
