What is the advanced composition of FeSi3N4 Ferro Silicon Nitride?
The advanced composition of FeSi3N4 Ferro Silicon Nitride is carefully engineered to combine the benefits of iron (Fe), silicon (Si), and silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) in a synergistic formula. This composition is tailored to deliver optimal performance in metallurgical processes such as nodulizing, inoculation, and alloying.
A typical advanced FeSi3N4 composition includes:
Si₃N₄ (Silicon Nitride): The key functional phase providing thermal stability, controlled nitrogen release, and graphite shape control.
Ferrosilicon (Fe-Si): Acts as a binder, alloying agent, and reaction medium, improving material flow and slag formation.
Trace Elements (Optional): Depending on the application, elements may be adjusted to enhance deoxidation, inoculation effects, or alloy compatibility.
This advanced formulation ensures that FeSi3N4 behaves predictably in molten iron and steel, improving cast structure, mechanical properties, and process efficiency. It is especially valuable in ductile iron production, high-performance steelmaking, and specialty casting.

What is FeSi3N4 Ferro Silicon Nitride, and how is it used in industrial applications?
FeSi3N4 (Ferro Silicon Nitride) is an advanced composite material composed primarily of iron (Fe), silicon (Si), and silicon nitride (Si₃N₄). It is produced through a controlled nitridation process that ensures a stable and reactive material suitable for demanding industrial environments, especially in metallurgy and metal casting.
In industrial applications, FeSi3N4 is primarily used as a nodulizer in ductile iron production, where it promotes the formation of spheroidal graphite-a key factor in achieving high strength, toughness, and ductility in cast iron components. This makes it invaluable in manufacturing automotive parts, pipes, machinery components, and heavy-duty castings.
Beyond nodulization, FeSi3N4 serves as an inoculant, alloy additive, or nitrogen source in steelmaking and specialty casting, where it contributes to grain refinement, improved microstructure, and controlled nitrogen content. Its thermal stability and oxidation resistance also make it suitable for use in refractory support materials and high-temperature furnaces.
The 10–100mm particle size range is commonly used in foundries for ease of handling, reduced dust, and controlled reaction rates in molten metal. ZhenAn manufactures industrially optimized FeSi3N4 with customizable chemical compositions and provides third-party tested, high-quality products with free samples for qualification.
