Ferroalloys

FERROSILICON

Ferrosilicon (FeSi) is a ferroalloy consisting of silicon and iron, manufactured through a process of reducing silica in the presence of coke and iron leading to a ferroalloy with silicon content in ferrosilicon ranges from 15% to over 90%. It is used mainly in the production of steel as a primary deoxidant, and the benefits of alloying steel with ferrosilicon include grain refinement, enhancing the strength of steel and its properties of electrical conductivity.

Our ferrosilicon is sourced from reputable manufacturers globally; and typically has the following properties:

SILICON-MANGANESE

Silicon manganese (SiMn) is a ferroalloy mainly consisting of silicon and manganese, with a small fraction of iron. Silicon manganese (SiMn) is mainly used as a ferroalloy during steelmaking, however both silicon and manganese have a strong affinity for oxygen which also renders silicon manganese as a potent deoxidier of steel during steelmaking.

Our silicon manganese is sourced from reputable manufacturers globally; and typically has the following properties:

HIGH ENERGY (Si) BRIQUETTES (HEB)

High Energy Silicon briquettes (HEB’s) are high energy source and oxidizer of steel, manufactured from silicon metal or ferrosilicon fines pressed into briquettes. These HEB’s are used mainly during steelmaking to increase the silicon content in the steel required for increasing steel temperature during blowing at the BOF; and also as a deoxidizer of steel during steelmaking.

FERROMANGANESE

Ferromanganese (FeMn) is a ferroalloy consisting of high manganese content, produced from manganese ores and carbon. The main purpose of alloying steel with manganese is to increase strength, toughness and wear resistance of steel. There are three variants of ferromanganese that can be added to steel, depending on desired steel properties:

Product

Low Carbon Ferromanganese (LCFeMn)

Medium Carbon Ferromanganese (MCFeMn)

High Carbon Ferromanganese (HCFeMn)
