What is Ferrosilicon Used For?
Ferrosilicon (FeSi) is an alloy of iron and silicon with a very variable silicon content between 10% and 90%. It is used as a so-called master alloy in steel production, which is added in small amounts in order to adjust the properties of the melt, the cooling process and the finished product.

What Is Silica Sand & How Is It Different From Regular Sand?
Regular sand, also known as feldspathic sand, brown sand, or construction sand, typically contains silica, but in concentrations lower than 95%. For instance, typical brown sand used in concrete applications may contain up to 80% SiO2, along with varying amounts of iron, carbonate, potassium, and other trace elements/minerals.
