FeSi72 for Export Supply
Ferro silicon 72 is a silicon-iron alloy used in steelmaking, casting and alloy production. Its silicon content is usually controlled at Si 72% min, making it a practical grade for deoxidation and silicon adjustment.
Compared with FeSi75, FeSi72 usually has a lower purchase cost. For many steel plants and foundries, this grade is enough for ordinary deoxidation work, especially when the final steel grade does not require higher silicon input or low-aluminum control.
ZhenAn supplies FeSi72 from Anyang, one of China's main ferroalloy production areas. Standard export supply includes natural lumps, crushed standard material, 10–50mm size, 10–100mm size, and customized sizing according to furnace practice.

Why Buyers Choose FeSi72
For ordinary steelmaking, the buyer does not always need FeSi75. If the plant only needs basic deoxidation and silicon adjustment, FeSi72 can reduce purchase cost while keeping stable furnace performance.
In a typical steel plant, FeSi72 is added during tapping or ladle treatment. The purpose is simple: remove dissolved oxygen and bring silicon content into the required range before casting.
For foundries, FeSi72 is also used when producing cast iron or ordinary casting parts. It helps adjust silicon and improve molten metal treatment without using a more expensive high-silicon grade.
This is why many buyers ask for ferro silicon 72 first when they care about cost per ton and do not need stricter low-Al material.
FeSi72 Size: Why 10–50mm Is Common
For steelmaking and foundry use, 10–50mm is one of the most practical sizes.
Fine powder may float on slag or oxidize too early. Large lumps may dissolve too slowly, especially when the ladle temperature is dropping. The 10–50mm range is easier to charge, easier to absorb and more stable for manual or semi-automatic feeding.
For customers using bulk furnace addition, 10–100mm can also be supplied. For plants with weighing systems or tighter addition control, crushed standard 10–50mm is usually easier to manage.
What Affects Ferro Silicon Price?
The ferro silicon price changes with several factors. Buyers should not compare only the FOB price per ton.
| Price Factor | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Si content | FeSi72 and FeSi75 have different cost levels |
| Al requirement | Lower Al usually increases production and sorting cost |
| Size | Crushed standard size may cost differently from natural lumps |
| Order quantity | Full-container orders usually have better freight efficiency |
| Packing | 1MT jumbo bag is standard, special packing may add cost |
| Destination port | Freight cost affects CFR and CIF quotations |
| Stock status | Ready stock and scheduled production may have different prices |
For an accurate quotation, buyers should provide Si content, Al limit, size, quantity, destination port and delivery term.
ZhenAn Export Supply Capacity
ZhenAn is located in Anyang, close to China's ferroalloy production base. This gives us better access to FeSi72 stock, production coordination and inland transport.
For common FeSi72 export orders, we usually arrange 1MT jumbo bag packing. Marking, palletizing, moisture-proof liner and customized bag printing can be arranged according to customer requirements.
Because Anyang has mature transport routes to Qingdao Port and Tianjin Port, standard stock orders can usually be loaded within 7–10 days after receiving LC or advance payment. The exact time depends on stock, inspection, packing and vessel schedule.
How to Request a FeSi72 Quotation
To get a useful quotation, please send the following information:
| Required Information | Example |
|---|---|
| Product grade | FeSi72 |
| Si content | Si 72% min |
| Al limit | Al 2.0% max or 1.5% max |
| Size | 10–50mm |
| Quantity | 25MT / 100MT / monthly demand |
| Packing | 1MT jumbo bag |
| Destination port | Jebel Ali / Busan / Rotterdam / Santos |
| Trade term | FOB / CFR / CIF |
This helps ZhenAn confirm the correct specification, current stock, MOQ, packing method, loading time and real-time ferro silicon price.
