Steelmakers and foundries face ongoing issues when using ferrosilicon in high-volume operations:
Uncontrolled silicon addition leading to over-oxidation or inconsistent steel chemistry
Fines and uneven particle size affecting melting rates and furnace efficiency
Graphitization issues in cast iron production
Increased alloy consumption and operating costs due to variability

Selecting the right FeSi 65 or FeSi 75 grade ensures metallurgical precision, cost savings, and process stability.
| Element | FeSi 65 (%) | FeSi 75 (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Silicon (Si) | 63.0–68.0 | 74.0–80.0 |
| Iron (Fe) | Balance | Balance |
| Aluminum (Al) | ≤ 2.0 | ≤ 2.0 |
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.25 | ≤ 0.20 |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.04 | ≤ 0.04 |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.02 | ≤ 0.02 |
Composition can be adjusted based on steel grade, furnace type, or foundry requirements.
