Ferrosilicon Production Cost Report

Ferrosilicon (FeSi) is an iron and silicon alloy with a 10% to 90% wt% variable silicon content and also includes a high iron silicide proportion. It is produced in an electric arc furnace when coke is used to reduce silica in the presence of iron (typically obtained from steel scrap or iron ore). The various types of ferrosilicon are low-carbon ferrosilicon and ultra-low-carbon ferrosilicon, low-titanium (high-purity) ferrosilicon, low-aluminium ferrosilicon and special ferrosilicon.

FeSi typically appears in the form of shiny, metallic-grey lumps but can also be found as pre-formed briquettes. The alloy has great properties, like having great resistance to corrosion, abrasion, high magnetism, and high specific gravity. It has no odour and can be dangerous in case of inhalation. It has slight solubility in water and may react with it to make hydrogen. Its dust particles are combustible.

It has a molecular weight of 112.02 g/mol and a density of 3.20 g/cm3. Its respective melting and boiling points are 1200-1250°C and 2355°C. The ferrosilicon powder particles can have a spherical or irregular shape, like in the form of lumps, crushed or milled.

The Ferrosilicon industry is being driven by the alloy's main application in steelmaking as an alloying and deoxidation component. In steelmaking, ferrosilicon is also used for improving product performance and reducing chromium oxides resulting in improved recovery of metallic chromium and deoxidation, as a fuel in furnaces to lower energy costs.

Furthermore, it is widely used in the manufacturing industry to make silicon, corrosion-resistant and high-temperature resistant ferrous silicon alloys, cast iron, silicon steel for electromotors and transformer cores, prealloys such as magnesium ferrosilicon, in the Pidgeon process for producing magnesium from dolomite, in heavy media separation and atomization, metallurgy processes like atomization, casting, melting and heavy media separation reactions, for making silicon copper in the chemical industry, to make semiconductors among others which is boosting the market expansion.
