70 FeSi Powder is a premium ferrosilicon powder with a silicon (Si) content of approximately 70%, primarily composed of silicon (Si) and iron (Fe), along with trace impurities such as aluminum (Al), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and carbon (C). It is processed into fine powder form through professional crushing, grinding, and screening, featuring uniform size distribution for excellent reactivity and mixing performance. Available in customizable sizes (e.g., 0~1mm, 1~3mm, 3~5mm, or fine powder grades as per requirements) and packaged in ton bags or customized packaging to meet customer storage and transportation needs. Widely used in steelmaking, casting, and alloy production, it is a key functional additive for improving product quality.
Core Properties
High Silicon Content: With ~70% silicon, it exhibits strong oxygen affinity, enabling efficient deoxidation in molten metal.
Powder Form Advantage: Larger specific surface area compared to lump ferro silicon, ensuring faster reaction speed, thorough mixing with molten steel/iron, and improved utilization rate.
Low Impurity Level: Strict control over harmful impurities (P, S, etc.) avoids adverse effects on the performance of finished products such as steel and castings.
Stable Performance: Consistent chemical composition and size ensure reliable application effects across batches.

Key Applications
Steelmaking Deoxidizer:
Quickly reacts with oxygen in molten steel to form silicon dioxide, effectively reducing oxygen content, minimizing oxide inclusions, and improving steel purity and mechanical properties (strength, toughness, etc.).
Casting Inoculant:
Promotes graphitization in cast iron, refines graphite structure, reduces casting defects (pores, slag inclusions), and enhances the strength, wear resistance, and castability of cast iron products.
Alloy Additive:
Used as a silicon source in the production of various ferroalloys and non-ferrous alloys, adjusting alloy composition to improve high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and other specific properties.
Other Fields:
Can be used as a raw material in refractory materials (enhancing high-temperature stability) and welding materials (as a deoxidizer and flux to improve welding quality).
Quality Assurance & Industry Standards
Our Ferro Silicon 70 Powder is manufactured and tested to meet or exceed stringent international specifications, ensuring its reliable performance in steelmaking, foundry, and alloy production. customer-defined requirements for silicon and trace elements.
Our commitment to quality, underpinned by an ISO 9001:2015 certified management system, includes:
Raw Material Control: We select high-purity quartz and iron sources to ensure consistency and minimize undesirable tramp elements like P and S.
Process Monitoring: Smelting parameters are precisely controlled to achieve the target silicon range (68-72%) and alloy homogeneity. The subsequent crushing, grinding, and screening processes are carefully managed to produce the exact particle size distribution required.
Finished Product Verification: Every batch undergoes comprehensive analysis. We verify the chemical composition (Si, Al, Ca, Mn, P, S, C) using advanced spectroscopic methods and confirm the size distribution using sieve analysis.
Full Traceability & Certification: A detailed Mill Test Certificate reporting the complete chemical analysis and size verification is provided with each shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your specifications.

FAQ
Q: Why should I choose 70% ferrosilicon powder over lumpy ferrosilicon for my application?
A: The choice depends on your process. 70 Ferro Silicon Powder is ideal when rapid reaction and thorough mixing are critical. Its high surface area allows it to dissolve and react much faster in molten metal, which is a key advantage for ladle injection, fine-tuning in refining stations, or as an inoculant where quick, uniform dispersion is needed. Lumpy ferrosilicon is typically used for additions during furnace tapping. We can help you determine the best form for your specific process.
Q: How do I select the right particle size for use as a casting inoculant?
A: For foundry inoculation, the goal is uniform dispersion and rapid dissolution without generating smoke or being carried away by the air. A common and effective size range is 1-3mm or 3-8mm. This ensures the powder sinks into the molten iron stream and dissolves evenly to promote effective graphite nucleation. For injection systems, a finer, tightly controlled size like 0-1mm is often required. We can customize the size to match your specific inoculation method (ladle, in-stream, mold).
