China has firmly established itself as the world's foremost producer and exporter of silicon metal, commanding a dominant position in the global market. The country's silicon metal industry has not only met domestic demand but has also become an indispensable supplier to industries worldwide. 

In the process of steel production, adding a certain proportion of alloying elements can significantly improve the performance of steel. Ferrosilicon, as a common alloy material, is widely used in the steel industry. Its addition can improve the quality, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of steel. This article will introduce the composition, mechanism of action and application of ferrosilicon in steel, as well as its impact on the performance of steel.

Ferrosilicon is an important alloy in the production of steel and cast iron, and has been in high demand in recent years. As a result, the price per ton of ferrosilicon has fluctuated, making it difficult for companies to plan and budget effectively.

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.
