Detailed introduction of 72 ferrosilicon

2025-06-13

72 ferro silicon is a ferro alloy mainly composed of silicon and iron, with a silicon content of about 72%.

 

Main features of 72 ferrosilicon

High silicon content: The silicon content in 72 ferro silicon is as high as 72%, which gives it unique physical and chemical properties.

Good reducibility: Due to the strong reducibility of silicon, 72 ferrosilicon can be used as a reducing agent during the smelting process.

Wide application fields: 72 ferro silicon is widely used in steel smelting, casting, welding and other fields as a deoxidizer, inoculant and alloy additive.

 

72 ferrosilicon production method

72 ferro silicon production methods mainly include traditional smelting methods and new smelting methods.

Traditional smelting method: The traditional 72 ferro silicon production method is to use silica, steel scraps and carbonaceous reducing agents (such as metallurgical coke, gas coke, semi-coke, lignite and anthracite, etc.) to smelt in a mining and smelting electric furnace.

New smelting method: The new 72 ferro silicon powder production method aims to provide a method for producing ferro silicon at a low cost without metallurgical coke, without or with less steel scraps. The main raw materials are ferro silicon coke and silica, with no or a small amount of steel scraps. By optimizing the raw material ratio and smelting process, the production cost can be reduced and the product quality can be improved.

72 Ferrosilicon Uses

72 Ferro silicon has a wide range of applications in many fields:

Steel smelting: used as a deoxidizer, it can remove oxygen from steel and improve the quality and performance of steel.

Casting: used as an inoculant, it can improve the internal structure and performance of castings, and improve the strength and toughness of castings.

Welding: used as an additive for welding materials, it can improve the quality and performance of welded joints.

 

72 Ferrosilicon Market Price

The market price of 72 Ferrosilicon is affected by many factors, including production costs, supply and demand, and price fluctuations in the international metal market. Therefore, the specific price of 72 Ferrosilicon will fluctuate with market changes. If you need to obtain real-time price information, it is recommended to consult relevant suppliers or check the quotes of metal trading platforms.

 

Notes

Quality selection: When purchasing 72 ferro silicon, you should choose a supplier with reliable quality and good reputation to ensure that the product quality meets relevant standards and requirements.

Storage and transportation: 72 ferro silicon should be stored in a dry, ventilated, rain-proof place to prevent moisture and oxidation. During transportation, care should be taken to prevent collision and extrusion to ensure that the product arrives safely at the destination.
