I-Ferrosilicon yi-ferroalloy ebalulekileyo esetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwi-metallurgy yentsimbi kunye ne-Foundry industry. Eli nqaku liza kwazisa ngokubanzi inkqubo yokuvelisa i-ferrosilicon, kubandakanywa nokukhethwa kwezinto eziluhlaza, iindlela zokuvelisa, ukuhamba kwenkqubo, ukulawula umgangatho kunye nefuthe lokusingqongileyo.

I-alloy ngumxube okanye isisombululo esiqinileyo esiquka isinyithi. Ngokufanayo, i-ferroalloy ngumxube we-aluminiyam exutywe nezinye izinto ezifana ne-manganese, i-alum.

I-silicon yentsimbi yomgubo yinxalenye ebalulekileyo kwishishini lokwenza intsimbi. Isetyenziswa ngokubanzi njenge-agent alloying ekuveliseni iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zetsimbi. Ngeempawu zayo ezizodwa kunye neenzuzo, i-silicon powder powder idlala indima ebalulekileyo ekuphuculeni umgangatho kunye nokusebenza kweemveliso zetsimbi. Eli nqaku lijolise ekunikeni uphando olunzulu lwe-silicon powder yensimbi yokwenza i-steelmaking, igxininisa iimpawu zayo, izicelo, kunye neenzuzo ezinikezelayo kwishishini lensimbi.

I-silicon ye-powder yensimbi yinto ebalulekileyo yemveliso ekrwada, esetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwi-semiconductors, amandla elanga, i-alloys, i-rubber kunye nezinye iindawo. Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, ngophuhliso olukhawulezayo lwamashishini asezantsi, imakethi ye-silicon yentsimbi yehlabathi ibonise umkhwa wokukhula okuzinzileyo.

I-China izimise ngokuqinileyo njengomvelisi ophambili wehlabathi kunye nomthengisi we-silicon yesinyithi, ilawula indawo ebalaseleyo kwimarike yehlabathi. Umzi mveliso wesinyithi we-silicon welizwe awufezekanga kuphela imfuno yasekhaya kodwa uye waba ngumboneleli oyimfuneko kumashishini kwihlabathi liphela. 

Kwinkqubo yokuvelisa isinyithi, ukongeza umlinganiselo othile wezinto zokudibanisa kunokuphucula kakhulu ukusebenza kwentsimbi. I-Ferrosilicon, njengento eqhelekileyo ye-alloy, isetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwishishini lensimbi. Ukongezwa kwayo kunokuphucula umgangatho, iimpawu zomatshini kunye nokumelana nokubola kwentsimbi. Eli nqaku liza kwazisa ukubunjwa, indlela yokusebenza kunye nokusetyenziswa kwe-ferrosilicon ngensimbi, kunye nefuthe layo ekusebenzeni kwensimbi.
