Elkem supplies ferrosilicon to the steel and steel related industry. Ferrosilicon is an important additive in the manufacture of steel products. Our main markets are the worldwide producers of alloyed, stainless and carbon steel, as well as the producers of manganese alloys. Ferrosilicon is used to remove oxygen from the steel and as alloying element to improve the final quality of the steel. Silicon increases namely strength and wear resistance, elasticity (spring steels), scale resistance (heat resistant steels), and lowers electrical conductivity and magnetostriction (electrical steels). Special FeSi like low Al, High Purity and low C ferrosilicon are used in the production of special steel qualities for transformers/motors, ball bearings and shock absorbers, tyre cord steel and in stainless steel. Ferrosilicon grades Elkem produces ferrosilicon at Elkem Iceland, at the Elkem Bjølvefossen plant in Norway and Elkem Chicoutimi in Quebec, Canada. The production programme covers all grades of ferrosilicon: Standard Grade Ferrosilicon Low Aluminium Low Carbon High Purity (low Titanium) All grades with 75% or 65% Si Contact Phone: +1 412 299 7234 Send mail Contact another location ? - >Your country - Global contact Argentina Australia Austria Belarus Belgium Bosnia and Herzegovina Brazil Bulgaria Canada China Colombia Croatia Czech Republic Denmark Egypt Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Iceland India Indonesia Ireland Israel Italy Japan Latvia Lithuania Luxembourg Macedonia Malaysia Mexico Netherlands New Zealand Norway Oman Pakistan Poland Portugal Romania Russia Serbia and Montenegro Singapore Slovakia Slovenia South Africa South Korea Spain Sweden Switzerland Taiwan Thailand Turkey Ukraine United Kingdom United States Venezuela Product safety information FeSi Alloys psi FeSi Alloys psi FeSi Alloys psi FeSi Alloys psi FeSi Alloys psi FeSi Alloys psi hungarian FeSi Alloys psi FeSi Alloys psi FeSi Alloys psi FeSi Alloys psi Si and FeSi slag psi Shortcuts to...
