What is the silicon content of 72 ferrosilicon?
The silicon content of 72 ferrosilicon is usually between 72% and 80%.

This kind of ferrosilicon is used as a deoxidizer and inoculant in the metallurgical industry, especially in the production of ductile iron. It is an important inoculant and spheroidizing agent.

In addition, 72 ferrosilicon is used in the Pidgeon process of magnesium smelting.
It is also often used in the high-temperature smelting process of metallic magnesium to help replace magnesium in CaO and MgO.
