What is the use of ferrosilicon powder
Adding a certain amount of silicon in steel can effectively improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of steel. Therefore, when smelting structural steel, tool steel, spring steel, and silicon steel for transformer, ferrosilicon powder is also used as alloying agent. Used as inoculant and spheroidizer in the cast iron industry.
Adding a certain amount of ferrosilicon powder and metallurgical materials in cast iron can prevent the formation of carbide in iron, promote the precipitation and spheroidization of graphite, so in the production of nodular cast iron, ferrosilicon powder is an important inoculant (to help the precipitation of graphite) and spheroidizer.
Used as reducing agent in ferroalloy production. Not only the chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is very large, but also the carbon content of high silicon ferrosilicon powder is very low. Therefore, high silicon ferrosilicon powder (or siliceous alloy) is a kind of reductant commonly used in the production of low carbon ferroalloy in the ferroalloy industry.

In other aspects of use. Grinded or atomized ferrosilicon powder can be used as a suspended phase in the mineral processing industry.
A coating used as an electrode in the electrode manufacturing industry. High silicon ferrosilicon powder in the chemical industry can be used to manufacture silicone and other products.
