High Purity Ferrosilicon
High-purity ferrosilicon is used for deoxidation and silicon alloying in steels and foundry irons where controlled impurity levels are required.
Description
Purity level and particle size are selected to meet composition and cleanliness targets. Addition point and rate depend on steel grade and refining practice.
Applications
- Deoxidizer in steelmaking
- Alloying addition in electrical and specialty steels
- Nodularization support in foundry irons (practice-dependent)
Packaging
- Bags or drums on pallets with batch identification
- Protect from moisture and mechanical impact
- Handle to minimize dust generation
Storage
- Store dry and covered; keep sealed when not in use
- Segregate lots to manage chemistry consistency
- Apply FIFO for multiple batches
