Elkem LC FeSi 65 Low Carbon Ferrosilicon
Categories:	Metal
Material Notes:	This product is added as a deoxidant and as an alloying element to steels that require a special low carbon content, e.g. non-grain oriented electrical steels. Low Carbon FeSi 65 lowers the electrical conductivity and magnetostriction of electrical steels. When FeSi 75% dissolves in steel, it increases the temperature of the bath while FeSi 65% is almost temperature neutral,
