Product focus
Focused on FeSi 75
Bridgeway supplies FeSi 75 in bulk lump form for steelmaking, foundry, and alloy applications. Standard FeSi 75, low-aluminum requirements, buyer-specified chemistry limits, sizing, and packing are quoted through the RFQ process.
HS / HTS guidance
HS subheading 7202.21 generally covers ferrosilicon containing more than 55% silicon by weight. Final U.S. HTS classification should be confirmed for the specific product and transaction.

Applications
Applications of Ferrosilicon
Steel Deoxidation
FeSi is widely used as a deoxidizer in steelmaking, removing dissolved oxygen from molten steel and supporting consistent cleanliness.
Alloying Additive
FeSi supplies silicon to steel and alloy formulations where strength, hardness, elasticity, or magnetic properties are required.
Foundry and Cast Iron
In cast-iron production, FeSi is used to support graphite formation and casting performance, depending on grade and process requirements.
Ferroalloy and Magnesium Production
High-silicon FeSi serves as a reducing agent in certain ferroalloy and magnesium production processes, subject to buyer specifications.
Documentation & Inspection
Batch-level records and shipment documents
Buyer-requested third-party pre-shipment inspection may be arranged for proposed lots, with inspection costs quoted separately. Historical inspection records may be shared in redacted form for evaluation. Shipment-specific quality documentation is provided through the applicable MTC and, where requested, a third-party PSI report.
