Ferro Silicon (FeSi)

Ferrosilicon (FeSi) is an alloy of silicon and iron. The production is based on quartz, iron ore, coal, coke and biocarbon. The alloy is mainly used as a deoxidant and an alloying element in the production of steel and cast iron. FeSi increases strength, hardness, temperateness and corrosion resistance in steel
