Ferro Silicon (FeSi) is a vital deoxidizing agent and alloying element used in steelmaking and foundry applications. In China, one of the world’s largest steel-producing nations, steel mills heavily rely on ferro silicon to improve the strength, quality, and performance of steel products. At Beifang Alloy, we supply high-quality ferro silicon with consistent chemical composition and customizable sizes to meet the diverse needs of Chinese and global steel mills.

1. Procurement Needs of Steel Mills in China

Chinese steel mills use Ferro Silicon 72%, 75%, and other grades for critical metallurgical functions, including:

  • Deoxidation: Removing excess oxygen from molten steel

  • Alloying: Enhancing strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance

  • Cost Efficiency: Replacing more expensive alloying materials

  • Improving Fluidity: In casting and continuous casting processes

💼 Steel mills typically demand:

  • Bulk supply with stable monthly or quarterly delivery

  • Granule sizes such as 0-3mm, 3-10mm, 10-50mm

  • Packaging: Jumbo bags, small bags, or customized packing

  • Low aluminum and carbon content for higher purity grades

2. Industry Research & Market Insights

Over the past decade, China’s steel industry has evolved toward:

  • High-efficiency electric arc furnaces (EAFs)

  • Cleaner production practices

  • Increased demand for low-impurity ferroalloys

The Chinese ferro alloy market remains highly competitive, with regional hubs in Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, and Henan, where Beifang Alloy operates. In 2024, market trends show stable demand with seasonal price fluctuations tied to electricity policies and export conditions.

3. Procurement Guide – How to Choose Ferro Silicon for Steel Mills

To select the right ferro silicon for your steel mill, consider the following:

 

Factor Recommendation
Grade Choose 72% or 75% based on strength and budget needs
