Product Description

Ferrosilicon FeSi 75/65 | High-Purity Silicon Iron for Steel Deoxidation, Alloying & Foundry
Addressing Steelmaking Challenges

In modern steelmaking and alloy production, silicon yield instability remains a critical cost and quality risk. Common issues faced by mills and foundries include:

  • Unpredictable deoxidation results during tapping
  • Excessive oxidation loss caused by fines or uneven particle size
  • High impurity carryover affecting steel cleanliness
  • Frequent chemistry corrections increasing alloy consumption

Ferrosilicon FeSi 75 / FeSi 65 is engineered to address these challenges by delivering stable silicon content, controlled particle size, and reliable melting behavior across different furnace types.

Choosing the Right Silicon Iron Grade
FeSi 75 High-Silicon Alloy for Precise Steel Deoxidation
  • Silicon (Si): approx. 75%
  • Strong deoxidizing capability
  • Higher silicon recovery per ton
  • Ideal for alloy steel, clean steel, and secondary metallurgy
FeSi 65 Balanced Silicon Iron for Cost-Controlled Alloying
  • Silicon (Si): approx. 65%
  • More gradual silicon release
  • Suitable for carbon steel and foundry iron
  • Optimized cost-to-performance ratio

Using the correct FeSi 75 or FeSi 65 grade reduces over-addition and stabilizes downstream chemistry control.

Chemical Composition
Element FeSi 75 (%) FeSi 65 (%)
Silicon (Si) 74.0–80.0 63.0–68.0
Iron (Fe) Balance Balance
Aluminum (Al) ≤ 2.0 ≤ 2.0
Carbon (C) ≤ 0.20 ≤ 0.25
Phosphorus (P) ≤ 0.04 ≤ 0.04
Sulfur (S) ≤ 0.02 ≤ 0.02

Customized chemistry control is available for specific steel grades or furnace practices.

Particle Size Options

FeSi 75 / FeSi 65 Standard Sizes: 10–50mm & 10–100mm

  • 10–50mm FeSi granules
    • Fast dissolution
    • Ideal for ladle treatment and secondary refining
  • 10–100mm FeSi lumps
    • Controlled melting in EAF and induction furnaces
    • Reduced oxidation loss during charging

Uniform sizing improves silicon recovery efficiency and minimizes slag instability.

Applications in Core Industries
FeSi for Steel Deoxidation and Alloy Adjustment
  • Primary and secondary deoxidation
  • Silicon trimming for structural and alloy steels
  • Improved inclusion control and steel cleanliness
Ferrosilicon for Foundry and Cast Iron Production
  • Enhanced graphitization in gray iron
  • Improved nodularity support in ductile iron
  • Better casting surface finish and consistency
Silicon Iron for Alloy Manufacturing

  • Stable silicon source for controlled alloy chemistry
Production Process

ZhenAn produces FeSi 75 and FeSi 65 using submerged electric arc furnace smelting, combined with:

  • Selected high-grade quartz
  • Low-impurity carbon reductants
  • Controlled tapping and cooling cycles

Post-smelting, all material undergoes crushing, screening, magnetic separation, and batch chemical analysis, ensuring suitability for continuous industrial use.

Quality Control

Each batch of Ferrosilicon FeSi 75 / FeSi 65 is evaluated for:

  • Silicon content stability
  • Low sulfur and phosphorus
  • Consistent particle size distribution
  • Reduced fines percentage

This approach helps steelmakers avoid process fluctuations, yield loss, and re-alloying costs.

Packaging & Supply Options
  • 1 MT jumbo bags
  • 25 kg bags with palletized loading
  • Bulk shipment for long-term supply agreements

Packaging is designed to minimize moisture exposure and oxidation during transport and storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between FeSi 75 and FeSi 65?

FeSi 75 offers higher silicon concentration and stronger deoxidation, while FeSi 65 provides a more economical solution for standard alloying and foundry use.

Which FeSi size is better for electric arc furnaces?

Both 10–50mm and 10–100mm are suitable. The choice depends on furnace capacity, charging method, and desired melting speed.

Can FeSi 65 replace FeSi 75 in steelmaking?

In some carbon steel applications, yes. However, high-precision alloy steels typically require FeSi 75 for accurate silicon control.

Is Ferrosilicon suitable for ductile iron production?

Yes. Both FeSi 75 and FeSi 65 support graphitization and melt consistency in ductile and gray iron.

Can ZhenAn customize FeSi specifications?

ZhenAn can adjust silicon content, impurity limits, and particle size distribution to meet specific production requirements.
