Features of 72% Ferrosilicon
High Silicon Content
With a silicon content of up to 72%, this alloy exhibits unique physical and chemical properties beneficial for metallurgical processes.
Strong Reducibility
Due to the high reducibility of silicon, 72% ferrosilicon is often used as a reducing agent in smelting operations.
Versatile Applications
72% ferrosilicon is widely utilized in steelmaking, casting, and welding, acting as a deoxidizer, inoculant, and alloy additive.
Applications of 72% Ferrosilicon

Casting
Functions as an inoculant, enhancing the internal structure, strength, and toughness of castings.

Steelmaking
Used as a deoxidizer, it effectively removes oxygen from steel, improving its quality and performance.

Welding
Acts as an additive in welding materials, improving the strength and durability of welded joints.
Production Methods of 72% Ferrosilicon
The manufacturing of 72% ferrosilicon is carried out through traditional smelting and new smelting methods:
Traditional Smelting Method
Uses silica, steel scraps, and carbon-based reducing agents such as metallurgical coke, gas coke, semi-coke, lignite, or anthracite.
The materials are smelted in a submerged arc furnace to produce ferrosilicon.
New Smelting Method
Designed to produce ferrosilicon powder at lower costs, reducing or eliminating the need for metallurgical coke and steel scraps.
Primary raw materials include ferrosilicon coke and silica, with optimized raw material ratios to enhance product quality and reduce production costs.
