Ferrosilicon is a common deoxidizer. In many deoxidizer, ferrosilicon not only has an obvious deoxidizer effect, but also the price is relatively low, so it is favored by many steel smelting manufacturers.

Many applications of ferrosilicon
1. Ferrosilicon is an essential deoxidizer in steelmaking industry; In torch steel, ferrosilicon is used for precipitation deoxidation and diffusion deoxidation.
2, high silicon ferrosilicon or siliceous alloy in the ferroalloy industry as a reducing agent for the production of low carbon ferroalloys. Ferrosilicon added to cast iron can be used as inoculant of nodular cast iron, and can prevent the formation of carbide, promote the precipitation and spheroidization of graphite, and improve the performance of cast iron.
3. Ferrosilicon powder can be used as a suspended phase in the mineral processing industry, as the coating of electrode in the electrode manufacturing industry, and can be used to manufacture silicone and other products in the chemical industry.
4. Ferrosilicon is often used in the high temperature smelting process of magnesium metal in the Pijiang process of magnesium smelting. The magnesium in CaO.MgO is replaced, and 1.2 tons of ferrosilicon is consumed per ton of magnesium metal production, which plays a great role in the production of magnesium metal.
