DESCRIPTION
Ferro Silicon (FeSi) 75% is an alloy of iron and silicon, containing approximately 75% silicon by weight. It is used in a variety of applications due to its unique properties, including its ability to increase the strength and durability of other metals.
Here are some common uses of Ferro Silicon 75%:
- Steel production: Ferro Silicon 75% is used as a deoxidizer in the production of steel. It helps to remove impurities from the steel, such as oxygen and sulfur, which can weaken the metal.
- Foundry industry: Ferro Silicon 75% is also used as an additive in the production of cast iron. It can improve the casting properties of the iron, such as reducing shrinkage and improving fluidity.
- Welding electrodes: Ferro Silicon 75% is used in the production of welding electrodes. It can improve the quality of the weld by preventing the formation of porosity and reducing the likelihood of cracks.
- Magnesium production: Ferro Silicon 75% is used as a reductant in the production of magnesium metal. It helps to reduce the magnesium oxide and produce pure magnesium.
- Semiconductor industry: Ferro Silicon 75% is used in the production of silicon wafers for the semiconductor industry. It provides the necessary silicon content for the wafers and helps to improve their electrical properties.
