Ferrotitanio

Ferro Titanium (FeTi70, DIN 17566 reference) is a master alloy carrying 65-70% Ti into liquid steel, where titanium's strong affinity for carbon, nitrogen and oxygen drives stabilization, deoxidation and grain refinement. In austenitic stainless grades it ties up free carbon as TiC, suppressing chromium-carbide precipitation at grain boundaries and the intergranular corrosion (sensitization) that follows welding. In interstitial-free (IF) and structural steels, TiN and TiC scavenge N and C from solid solution, sharpening deep-drawability and yield control; the fine nitrides also pin austenite grains for refinement. Typical additions run roughly 0.1-0.5 wt% depending on C+N to stabilize and the target Ti residual, with recovery sensitive to deoxidation practice and addition timing. Low Al (≤2.0%), Si (≤0.20%) and C (≤0.20%), with P ≤0.04% and S ≤0.03%, keep residuals predictable; 10-50mm lump suits ladle and EAF feeding. Each lot ships with COA and MTC. Multi-regional sourcing supports CIF Marmara delivery and Gebze bonded stock in FCL or LCL lots. Send your grade and tonnage for an RFQ.

Domande frequenti

Which FeTi grade should I specify, and what does FeTi70 cover?
Our standard grade is FeTi70 (DIN 17566 reference) at Ti 65-70%, with Al ≤ 2.0%, Si ≤ 0.20%, C ≤ 0.20%, P ≤ 0.04%, S ≤ 0.03%. For stainless and IF steels where interstitial carbon and nitrogen must be tied up, low C and N matter most. If your process is sensitive to aluminium pickup or slag chemistry, flag the Al ceiling at order entry so we confirm the lot against your COA limits.
What dosage and addition practice apply for FeTi in steelmaking?
Titanium recovery drives the rate, so additions are set by target residual Ti, not a fixed wt%. In stabilized stainless and IF grades, FeTi is added after deoxidation, late in ladle treatment, to limit Ti loss to slag and reoxidation. Typical aim is enough Ti to stoichiometrically fix C and N (often a multiple of their combined content). Confirm recovery on your furnace before fixing a standing dosage; 10-50mm sizing supports controlled dissolution.
How is FeTi packed, and what are lead time and MOQ terms?
FeTi is supplied in 10-50mm lump, typically packed in sealed steel drums or 1 MT big bags on pallets to limit moisture and fines during transit. We work full-container 20 MT FCL and break-bulk 5 MT LCL, with Gebze bonded stock and CIF Marmara delivery available. Lead time depends on grade, lot size, and documentation needs; share your delivery window and we confirm a schedule at order confirmation.
What quality documentation and testing accompany each shipment?
Each lot ships with a COA / MTC stating heat or lot analysis against the FeTi70 specification, with Ti, Al, Si, C, P and S reported. Chemistry is determined by standard wet-chemical and instrumental methods; sizing is verified against the 10-50mm range. If your acceptance protocol requires a named ASTM or DIN test reference, third-party verification, or additional element reporting, specify it at order entry so we align documentation before dispatch.
When does FeTi make sense versus other titanium or grain-refining additions?
FeTi is the practical route when you need bulk Ti for C/N stabilization, grain refinement, or deoxidation and want a ferroalloy that dissolves predictably in liquid steel. Where only trace residual Ti is needed, or where Al, Nb or V better fit your microalloying target, those may substitute. FeTi is also used in welding electrode and flux-cored wire formulations.
