Ferrosilicon granules are processed from ferrosilicon raw lumps through crushing, screening and other processes. The size is usually in the range of 0.2 - 1mm, ferro silicon 1 - 3mm, ferro silicon 3 - 8mm, etc., and can be customized according to customer needs. In terms of content, it is similar to ferrosilicon lump, but some minor changes may be formed on the surface due to the processing process.
In the cast iron industry, ferrosilicon granules are a commonly used inoculant and spheroidizing agent. It has significant advantages over other materials.
In terms of cost, the price of ferrosilicon granules is much lower than that of steel, which greatly reduces the cost of cast iron production. Its smaller size makes it easier to melt, can quickly and evenly disperse in the cast iron melt, promotes graphite precipitation and spheroidization better, thereby improving the mechanical properties of cast iron and producing higher quality ductile iron products. It is widely used in the casting industry and plays an important role in the casting process of manufacturing various mechanical parts, automobile parts, etc.
