Ferrosilicon is a mixture of silicon and iron metal, which contains about 15-90% of silicon content in it. The alloy has different variations in its compositions, containing around 15%, 45%, 75% and 90% of silicon content, respectively. It may also consist of other elements such as aluminium and calcium along with iron in it. Ferrosilicon reacts with water and base to produce hydrogen on a commercial scale. The melting point of the compound depends upon the silicon content present in it, which is measured around 1200-1250° C. It has a high content of iron silicides, and it is often used as a source of silicon to reduce the metals from their oxides, deoxidize steel and other ferrous alloys.

Industrial Uses Impacting Ferrosilicon Price Trend:
Ferrosilicon is an industrial alloy material with a wide range of applications in various industry sectors. It has primary usage in metal manufacturing, producing high-temperature and corrosion-resistant ferrous silicon alloys, silicon steel which is used for transformer cores and electromotors, semiconductors, and Magnesium Ferrosilicon which is a component in electrode coatings and is used in arc welding etc. It is also used in the inoculation of cast iron to accelerate graphitization, and it deoxidizes steel and other ferrous alloys to prevent the loss of carbon atoms from the molten steel material.
Additionally, Ferrosilicon is used to produce various ferroalloys in the process of atomization, heavy media separation reaction, and melting in the metallurgical industries.
