Ferrosilicon is a crucial alloy used in the production of steel and other metals. It is composed of iron and silicon, with varying amounts of other elements such as manganese and carbon. The manufacturing process of ferrosilicon involves the reduction of quartz (silicon dioxide) with coke (carbon) in the presence of iron. This process requires high temperatures and is energy-intensive, making raw material prices a significant factor in determining the overall manufacturing cost of ferrosilicon.

In the modern steel industry, ferrosilicon plays a vital role. As a silicon-rich iron alloy, it is not only an indispensable additive in steel production, but also a key raw material for many refractory materials and wear-resistant parts.

Silicon carbide is now in increasing demand by major steel mills and foundries. Since it is cheaper than ferrosilicon, many foundries choose to use silicon carbide instead of ferrosilicon to increase silicon and carburize.
