Overview of Ferrosilicon Products:
Ferrosilicon is an iron alloy composed of iron and silicon. Ferrosilicon is an iron silicon alloy made by smelting coke, steel shavings, quartz (or silica) as raw materials in an electric furnace.
Factors affecting the price of ferrosilicon products:
1. The price of raw materials.
2. Production of ferrosilicon products (supply exceeds demand, prices decrease).
3. Import and export volume.
4. Electricity price factors.
The use of ferrosilicon products:
1. Used as a deoxidizer and alloying agent in the steelmaking industry. In order to obtain steel with qualified chemical composition and ensure the quality of steel, deoxidation is carried out in the final stage of steelmaking. The chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is high, so ferrosilicon is a strong deoxidizer for precipitation and diffusion deoxidation in steelmaking. Adding a small amount of silicon to steel can significantly improve its strength, hardness, and elasticity. Therefore, ferr…
