PRODUCT DETAILS
What is Ferro Silicon 70?
Ferrosilicon is an iron alloy composed of iron and silicon, ferrosilicon is an iron-silicon alloy made from coke, scrap steel, quartz (or silica) as raw materials, melted in an electric furnace. Ferrosilicon 70 is available at favourable prices and processed in natural lumps, standard lumps, granules and powder sizes.
Ferrosilicon is an essential deoxidiser in the steelmaking industry. In torch steel, ferrosilicon is used for precipitation deoxidation and diffusion deoxidation. Ferrosilicon is also used as an alloying agent in steelmaking. Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can significantly improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of steel, increase the magnetic permeability of steel and reduce the hysteresis loss of transformer steel.

Chemical Composition of Ferro Silicon 70
The chemical composition of ferro silicon 70 is crucial to its performance and applications. The high silicon content is what gives ferro silicon 70 its characteristic properties and makes it so valuable in metallurgical processes.
