Ferrosilicon 72

Ferrosilicon 72 is an alloy composed of silicon and iron in specific proportions. Primarily used as a deoxidizer and alloying additive in steelmaking, it also finds applications in casting, mineral processing, welding rods, light metal industries, and as a reducing agent for smelting certain metals. It is produced by smelting in electric furnaces using coke, steel scrap, and quartz (or silica sand) as raw materials.

Common silicon iron grades contain 72% or 75% silicon. Beyond silicon and iron, its chemical composition includes aluminum, calcium, phosphorus, sulfur, manganese, chromium, carbon, and other elements.

1. Steel Making Industry

This represents the core application of Ferrosilicon 72, suitable for the smelting of various ordinary carbon steels and low-alloy steels. It serves as a primary deoxidizer, rapidly purifying molten steel.

Adding Ferrosilicon 72 during ordinary carbon steel production replaces traditional deoxidizers, reducing deoxidation time by 20% and increasing molten steel purity by 15%. This reduces raw material costs by 80 yuan per ton of steel while minimizing surface defects like porosity and inclusions, boosting finished product pass rates from 92% to 98%.

2. Foundry Industry

Widely used in gray iron and ductile iron casting production, it serves as a inoculant to refine casting microstructure and enhance quality.

Automotive component foundries producing cast iron parts like engine blocks and chassis brackets incorporate our Ferrosilicon 72. Post-implementation, it effectively reduces white cast iron phenomena, yields more uniform cross-sectional structures, and boosts toughness by 30%. This addresses customer challenges of brittleness and deformation, meeting automotive components' high-strength demands.

3. General Casting Production

Suitable for producing various mechanical components, pipe fittings, valves, machine tool bases, and other castings, ensuring stable casting quality.

A hardware foundry replaced expensive inoculants with Ferrosilicon 72 when manufacturing water pipe valves and mechanical brackets. Without compromising product performance, raw material costs decreased by 25%, casting yield increased by 7%, and the products' wear resistance and corrosion resistance met industry standards, earning recognition from downstream customers.
