About Ferrosilicon (75%minSiFOB China) Data
Ferrosilicon is an alloy of silicon (Si) and iron.It is the most typical basic material in steel and cast iron melting and is used for reduction, deoxidation, tailings, and silicon addition.The raw material for silicon (silicon) is silica rock (SiO2), which is currently not refined in Japan.Requires a lot of power for refining.All imports are intermediate products: metallic silicon, ferroalloy silicon (ferrosilicon and silicomanganese), and carbide.Ferrosilicon imports totaled approximately 283,000 tons in 2023, with nearly 80% coming from China and BrazilHigh purity ferrosilicon is used in electromagnetic steel. Suppliers are limited.
