Ferro aluminum manufacturing process involves the production of aluminum from synthetic cryolite or bauxite. Ferro aluminum is produced by combining iron with aluminum. The manufacturing process of ferro aluminum is highly energy intensive in nature. Ferro aluminum requires a large amount of electricity during its manufacturing process.
The processed aluminum is then further transformed into aluminum oxide by using Bayer’s process through electrolysis. The resulting aluminum oxide is then mixed with iron oxide at extremely high temperatures. Ferro aluminum is further purified to make it available in several grades. Though ferroalloy contains about 65% of aluminum alloy, it exhibits the properties of about 40% alloy in terms of density.
Pure ferro aluminum usually contains aluminum in the range of 30% and 75%. Ferro aluminum is usually supplied in granular, powder, or in pieces of different sizes. Ferro aluminum is primarily used as a de-oxidation agent for the steel manufacturing process. Ferro aluminum is also used for molding applications in combination with carbon steel and carbon steel.
Ferro aluminum is stable at room temperature however; it burns at extremely intense exothermic reactions. Applications of ferro aluminum differ with the aluminum content in the alloy. Ferro aluminum is widely used as a major deoxidizing agent.
