Ferroalloy Applications in Steelmaking

Ferroalloys are essential additives that determine the strength, durability, and corrosion resistance of steel. As a leading ferroalloy manufacturer, Anyang Hongshun supplies over 1 million metric tons annually to steel plants across 30+ countries, ensuring superior performance in construction, automotive, and industrial applications.

Why Choose Ferroalloys?

Cost-effective alloying vs. pure metals

• Higher element recovery in steelmaking

• Improved density & melting properties

• Custom compositions for specialized steel grades

Types of Ferroalloys & Their Applications

1. Ferrosilicon (FeSi) – For Stronger, Magnetic Steel

• Grade: ≥75% Si (low Al/Ca impurities）

• Uses: Electrical steel (transformers, motors), deoxidation

• Hongshun Advantage: High-purity refining for cleaner steel

2. Ferromanganese (FeMn) – Enhancing Hardness & Wear Resistance

• Grades: High-carbon (6-8% C) to low-carbon (≤0.7% C)

• Uses: Structural steel, rails, machinery

• Hongshun Advantage: Low phosphorus/sulfur for better Mn recovery

3. Ferrochrome (FeCr) – Stainless Steel Production

• Grade: Cr ≥60% (South African chromite ore)

• Uses: Stainless steel, corrosion-resistant alloys

• Hongshun Advantage: 500,000-ton annual capacity, AOD refining compatible

4. Ferromolybdenum (FeMo) – High-Temperature Strength

• Grade: 60-65% Mo

• Uses: Oil/gas pipelines, aerospace materials

• Hongshun Advantage: Uniform particle size for faster dissolution

5. Ferrovanadium (FeV) – High-Strength Steel Alloying

• Grade: 80% V

• Uses: Tool steel, high-strength rebar

• Hongshun Advantage: Tight composition control (±0.5%)

Key Functions in Steelmaking

1. Deoxidation – Cleaner, Stronger Steel

Hongshun’s low-Al ferrosilicon and high-purity FeMn reduce oxygen content, minimizing defects.

2. Alloying – Tailored Steel Properties

• Manganese (FeMn) → Wear resistance

• Chromium (FeCr) → Corrosion protection

• Molybdenum (FeMo) → High-temperature strength

3. Cost Efficiency & Process Optimization

• Precise additions reduce waste

• Custom blends for specific steel grades
