Ferro Silicon Use In Steel Industry Fast Dissolving High Purity For Efficient Smelting Process
In the steel industry, high-purity ferrosilicon (often 75% Si or higher) is valued for its fast dissolution in molten metal, enabling efficient deoxidation, alloying, and process control during smelting.
| Property |
Typical Specification |
| Si content |
≥ 75% (premium grades up to 90%) |
| Purity |
Low Al, Ca, C, P, S |
| Form |
Lump, granule, or powder |
| Dissolution rate |
Fast (seconds to minutes) |
| Main use |
Rapid deoxidation, alloying in EAF/BOF |
Key Advantages
- Fast dissolving: High purity and optimal particle size allow quick integration into melt, shortening processing time.
- Efficient smelting: Immediate reaction with oxygen reduces slag buildup and improves furnace throughput.
- Consistent composition: Tight quality control ensures predictable steel chemistry.
Operational Benefits
- Lowers energy consumption by reducing holding time in ladle or furnace.
- Minimizes inclusion formation for cleaner steel.
- Enables precise adjustment of final silicon content for targeted mechanical properties.
Applications
- Primary steelmaking (deoxidation during tapping)
- Secondary refining for electrical steels and HSLA steels
- Production of specialty alloys needing rapid silicon input
