DESCRIPTION
Ferrosilicon is an alloy composed of iron and silicon, with varying ratios depending on the application. Ferrosilicon lumps are a common form of this alloy that is used in many industrial applications, including the production of steel and other alloys.The composition of ferrosilicon lumps can vary depending on the specific application. The silicon content can range from 15% to 90%, with the remainder being iron and other elements such as aluminum, calcium, and magnesium. The exact composition of ferrosilicon lumps can also affect their properties, such as their melting point, density, and hardness.
Ferrosilicon lumps are a versatile alloy that is used in many industrial applications due to their high melting point, excellent heat and electrical conductivity, and ability to alloy with other metals to create new materials with unique properties.
