Applications of High-Quality Ferrosilicon 75
1. Steelmaking and Deoxidation
Excess oxygen in molten steel can cause blowholes, inclusions, and poor mechanical properties. FeSi 75 acts as a strong deoxidizer, forming stable silicon oxides to produce cleaner, higher-quality steel with consistent properties.
2. Casting and Foundry Applications
For cast iron and other metal castings, Ferrosilicon 75 improves fluidity, refines graphite morphology, reduces shrinkage and porosity, and ensures smooth surface finish and machinability.
3. Alloying for High-Strength Steel
High silicon content is essential in low-alloy and high-strength steels. Adding FeSi 75 optimizes hardness, tensile strength, and corrosion resistance while maintaining ductility and process control.
4. Specialty Metallurgical Applications
Ferrosilicon 75 is also used in chemical processes and high-silicon alloy production, providing a consistent source of silicon for metallurgical reactions and specialty alloys.
