Ferrosilicio

FeSi

Ferro Silicon (FeSi) is an iron-silicon master alloy used to control oxygen and adjust silicon content in molten steel and cast iron. As a deoxidizer, its silicon reacts with dissolved oxygen to form SiO2 that floats into the slag, raising cleanliness and improving yield of more reactive additions such as Mn and Al. In cast iron it shifts solidification toward graphite, countering chill and stabilizing the as-cast structure. This grade runs Si 72-78% (FeSi 75 basis) with Al ≤ 1.5%, C ≤ 0.10%, P ≤ 0.04%, and S ≤ 0.02% in 10-60 mm lumps. Typical use spans EAF and BF-BOF steel deoxidation, grey- and ductile-iron inoculation, silicon-steel production, and as feedstock for downstream ferroalloys. Deoxidation dosage commonly lands near 0.3-0.6 wt% for grey iron, adjusted to bath chemistry and oxygen activity. Tight C/P/S limits suit cleaner-steel routes; a 70-72 grade is available for grey-iron and inoculation work. Lots ship against COA (EN 10204 3.1) and MTC with XRF/ICP verification, conforming to ASTM A100 / ISO 5445, from multi-regional sourcing. Delivery options include CIF Marmara, Gebze bonded stock, and 20 MT FCL lots. Send your grade and tonnage for an RFQ.
