Ferro Silicon

Ferro Silicon is a ferroalloy produced by smelting high-purity quartz and iron sources in electric arc furnaces. It is primarily used in steel making as a powerful deoxidizer and alloying agent, improving strength, hardness, magnetic properties, and steel cleanliness.

Ferro Silicon is a critical raw material in carbon steel, alloy steel, and special steel production,

Essential Deoxidizer & Alloying Agent for Steel Making
