Ferro Silicon & Foundry Technology FAQs

What is ferro silicon used for in foundry? +

Ferro silicon is widely used as an inoculant in cast iron production to control graphite morphology, reduce chill, and improve mechanical properties. It also acts as an alloying element to enhance strength and wear resistance. Learn more about our ferrosilicon inoculant grades.

How does barium-containing inoculant improve gray iron? +

Barium-bearing inoculants provide a longer-lasting effect and more uniform structure by promoting better nucleation and reducing chill depth. They are particularly effective in thin-section castings. Explore our ferro silicon barium inoculant range.

Where can I get a quote for ferro silicon products? +
