About Ferro Silicon Lumps
Ferro silicon lumps are an iron and silicon alloy used by steel plants and foundries as a deoxidiser, alloying addition and inoculant. Akshar Shop supplies sized lumps for steel, cast iron and ferro alloy users.
Uses and applications of ferro silicon lumps
- Steel deoxidation: added to molten steel to remove dissolved oxygen and adjust silicon content.
- Cast iron foundries: used for silicon addition and as a base for inoculants in grey and ductile iron.
- Electrical steel: source of silicon in the production of silicon steels.
- Magnesium production: reducing agent in the thermal process for magnesium metal.
- Heavy media separation: ground or atomised ferro silicon is used as a dense medium in mineral processing.
Grades, forms and packing
Ferro silicon is offered in different silicon grades and lump sizes. Silicon content, size range and limits on elements such as aluminium, carbon, phosphorus and sulphur are shared with the quotation and backed by a COA on request. Packing is usually in jumbo bags, with smaller bags available for foundries buying in lower quantities. See also our Metals & Metal Compounds and Refractory & Foundry Minerals categories.

Storage and handling
Keep ferro silicon dry and under cover. Fines and dust in contact with water or damp air can release flammable and toxic gases, so store in a well-ventilated area away from water and acids, and do not smoke near stored material. Wear gloves, goggles and a dust mask, and follow the SDS.

Frequently asked questions about Ferro Silicon Lumps
What is ferro silicon used for?
It is mainly used to deoxidise steel and to add silicon to steel and cast iron. It is also a base for inoculants and a reducing agent in magnesium production.
Which grades do you supply?
Ferro silicon is sold by silicon content. Available grades and sizes depend on the lot and are shared with the quotation.
Why must ferro silicon be kept dry?
Fine particles can react with moisture and release flammable and toxic gases. Dry, ventilated storage is important.
Do you supply smaller quantities for foundries?
Yes. Along with jumbo bags, smaller packing can be arranged. Ask on WhatsApp with your monthly requirement.
