ferro silicon

Ferrosilicon is an iron-silicon alloy made by smelting coke, steel shavings, and quartz (or silica) in an electric furnace. Since silicon and oxygen are easily combined into silicon dioxide, ferrosilicon is often used as a deoxidizer in steelmaking. At the same time, because SiO2 generates a lot of heat, it is also beneficial to increase the temperature of molten steel during deoxidation. At the same time, ferrosilicon 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. Ferrosilicon is often used as a reducing agent in ferroalloy production and chemical industry.

Ferrosilicon particle size: 0-1mm, 1-3mm, 3-10mm, 10-50mm, 50-100mm or customized.

Commonly used ferro silicon grades are Fesi70%, FeSi72%, FeSi75%.

Reminder from Hainan West Asia Group:

The price of ferrosilicon shows a weak consolidation. The ex-factory price of 75 ferrosilicon natural blocks including tax in the main production area is 7200-7300 yuan/ton (flat); the ex-factory price of 72 ferrosilicon natural blocks including tax is 6700-6900 yuan/ton (flat);

Affected by the shock and fall of futures prices, the main force in the morning is still fluctuating above 6,800 yuan/ton, the overall market sentiment has cooled down, and the bidding and procurement of steel mills has gradually come to an end. The market outlook may still be dominated by shocks.
