Ferro alloys are alloy substances that contain iron and other elements such as silicon, manganese, chromium, and nickel. These elements are added to iron during the production process to enhance its mechanical and chemical properties. Ferroalloys are commonly utilized in the production of steel, cast iron, and other ferrous alloys.
The raw materials used in the production of ferroalloys usually vary depending on the element being added. Generally, ferroalloys raw materials could be grouped into two – iron- or manganese-oxide-based and mined minerals.
Iron- or Manganese-Oxide-Based Raw Materials
Iron- or manganese-oxide-based raw materials are commonly used in the production of ferroalloys consisting of manganese or iron. These types of raw materials, which include iron oxide pellets, manganese oxide ore, coke, and silica sand are used as reducing agents in the production process.
Coke is a carbonaceous reducing agent, which reduces the iron oxide pellets to iron by removing oxygen. Similarly, manganese oxide ore is reduced, producing ferromanganese, while quartz or silica sand is added to combine with the impurities to form slag.
Minerals as Ferroalloys Raw Materials
The minerals used as raw materials for ferroalloys include chromite, ilmenite, and quartz. These minerals are mined from the earth's crust, and their usage differs depending on the type of ferroalloy that is being made. For instance, chromite, which contains chromium, is used for the production of ferrochrome.
Ilmenite, on the other hand, is used in the production of ferrotitanium, which finds applications in the aerospace and automotive industries. Quartz is used in the production of ferrosilicon, another common type of ferroalloy that finds a variety of applications, including in the production of silicon, aluminum, and steel.
Other minerals used as ferroalloys raw materials include precious metals such as gold, platinum, and silver, which are used in the production of ferrovanadium and ferromolybdenum. Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) and molybdenum oxide (MoO3) are used as reducing agents to produce ferrovanadium and ferromolybdenum, respectively.
Conclusion
The production of ferroalloys is dependent on the type of raw materials being used, and the composition of ferroalloys varies based on the kind and amount of element being added to the iron or steel. The use of raw materials such as iron oxide pellets, manganese oxide ore, coke, chromite, ilmenite, quartz, and precious metals like gold, platinum and silver in producing ferroalloys helps enhance the mechanical and chemical properties of ferrous alloys.

China dominates the world market for ferro-alloys, importing a staggering $9.8 billion worth of these alloys in 2022. The United States, Japan, Indonesia, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, South Korea, Turkey, and India are also major importers of ferro-alloys, driven by their respective manufacturing sectors and domestic consumption.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has had a significant impact on the ferroalloy industry. The main producing regions of ferroalloys are located in Eastern Europe, which has been affected by the conflict.
Throughout January-September 2021, global ferroalloy trade totalled $11.8B, increasing by +36% compared to the same period last year. This spike was caused by growing prices, as imports in physical terms remained nearly unchanged against the previous year’s figures. China tops the ferroalloy importer ranking with 29% of the total value, followed by Japan and the U.S. The average ferroalloy import price in September 2021 was estimated at $2.5 per kg, a 56%-increase compared to those of September 2020.
The global trade in ferro-alloys amounted to X million USD in 2015, fluctuating wildly over the period under review. A plunge in 2009 was followed by recovery over the next two years, until exports decreased again. Exports continued falling for th
