At Beifang Alloy, we specialize in producing high-purity ferrosilicon (FeSi) tailored for demanding steel applications—from automotive to aerospace. This guide covers procurement needs, industry trends, buying strategies, and supplier selection to help you optimize steel performance with the right FeSi.
| Parameter | Standard Grade | High-Performance Grade |
|---|---|---|
| Si Content | 65-75% | 72-75% |
| Carbon (C) | ≤0.1% | ≤0.05% |
| Aluminum (Al) | ≤1.5% | ≤0.5% |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤0.04% | ≤0.02% |
✔ Enhanced Strength – Silicon refines grain structure, improving tensile strength
✔ Corrosion Resistance – Forms protective SiO₂ layer in stainless steels
✔ Machinability – Optimizes graphite formation in cast iron
✔ Low Trace Elements – Al, P, and S must be minimized for critical applications
✔ Batch Consistency – ±0.3% Si variation for uniform heat treatment
✔ Sustainability – CBAM-compliant suppliers preferred
🔹 Automotive Lightweighting – Advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) demand up 18% YoY
🔹 Aerospace Expansion – Next-gen turbine alloys requiring ultra-low Al FeSi
🔹 Green Steel Shift – Low-carbon FeSi gains traction under EU CBAM
Standard FeSi75: 1,400−1,600/MT (FOB China)
High-Purity (Si≥72%, C≤0.05%): 150−200/MT premium
Forecast: Prices may rise 5-7% in Q4 due to energy cost pressures
Confirm Si%, C%, and Al% based on steel grade (e.g., maraging steel, tool steel)
Choose lumps (10-50mm) or granules (1-10mm) for optimal dissolution
Determine monthly volumes (typical MOQ: 50MT)
✔ Certifications – ISO 9001, IATF 16949 (automotive), NADCAP (aerospace)
✔ Testing Capabilities – GDMS for trace elements, LECO for carbon
✔ Sustainability – ≤2.5t CO₂/MT with verifiable reporting
Prioritize moisture-proof big bags with desiccants
Require pre-shipment test ingots for validation
| Criteria | Beifang Alloy | Industry Average |
|---|---|---|
| Si Purity | 72-75% (AI-controlled) | 65-75% |
| Al Control | ≤0.5% (SGS-certified) | ≤1.5% |
| Carbon Footprint | 2.3t CO₂/MT (hydro-powered) | 3.0t CO₂/MT |
| Lead Time | 30 days (FOB China) | 45-60 days |
| Technical Support | Dedicated metallurgists | Sales-only teams |
