Ferro Silicon

Ferro Silicon is an alloy of iron and silicon. Ferrosilicon is produced by reduction of silica or sand with coke in the presence of iron. Ferro Silicon (FeSi) is used as a source of silicon to reduce metals from their oxides and to deoxidize steel and other ferrous alloys. This prevents loss of carbon (C) from the molten steel (so called blocking the heat. In the manufacture of cast iron, ferrosilicon is used for inoculation of the iron to accelerate graphitization. Ferrosilicon is also important as an additive to cast irons for controlling the initial content of silicon.
