Magnesium Raw Materials Prices The ex-factory price (tax not included) for 20-80 mesh dolomite (Wutai) is 78 yuan/mt, and for 30-80 mesh dolomite (Wutai) is 128 yuan/mt. The mainstream ex-factory price for 75 ferrosilicon in Shaanxi ranges from 5,600 to 5,700 yuan/mt. Supply and Demand Recently, some dolomite mines in the Wutai region of Shanxi have remained suspended, while prices for dolomite ore in other Wutai areas have not seen significant adjustments, with prices holding steady. Yesterday, the ferrosilicon futures market displayed a volatile and pulling-back trend. The most-traded contract fluctuated at the opening and slightly pulled back towards the close. In the spot ferrosilicon market, the supply-strong and demand-weak pattern is unlikely to reverse in the short term, and ferrosilicon prices are expected to remain volatile.   Magnesium Ingot Prices Today, the transaction price for magnesium ingots in the Fugu region ranges from 15,900 to 16,000 yuan/mt, a decrease of 50 yuan from the previous working day. The China FOB price is reported at $2,200-2,280/mt. Supply and Demand With ex-factory prices in the Fugu region falling below 16,000 yuan/mt, producers, though aiming to stabilize prices, are constrained by weak demand. Although inventory levels are low, they remain sufficient. Additionally, production resumptions by some enterprises in July will bring new supply. The international FOB price spread is significant, with European summer breaks leading to reduced procurement. The Asian market, primarily driven by alloy demand, is experiencing significant price pressure. Overall, domestic rigid demand remains stable, but the reduction in global orders has intensified export competition. Coupled with the approaching summer break and expectations of production resumptions, the market is expected to remain in the doldrums amid the tug-of-war between supply and demand.   Magnesium Alloy Prices The mainstream tax-included ex-factory price for magnesium alloy in China ranges from 17,500 to 17,600 yuan/mt, and the mainstream FOB price for magnesium alloy in China is $2,450/mt. Supply and Demand With the continuous decline in the price of magnesium ingot raw materials, influenced by the sentiment of “rushing to buy amid continuous price rise and holding back amid price downturn,” die-casting plants and 3C customers are adopting a wait-and-see attitude, entering the market to purchase on a need-by-need basis, resulting in lackluster transactions. Considering that the price of magnesium ingot raw materials is expected to continue declining in the short term, magnesium alloy prices are anticipated to follow the weak trend of magnesium ingot prices.   Magnesium Powder Prices The mainstream tax-included ex-factory price for 20-80 mesh magnesium powder in China ranges from 17,200 to 17,400 yuan/mt, and the mainstream FOB price for magnesium powder in China is $2,380-2,450/mt. Supply and Demand Magnesium powder production has increased due to the impact of raw material prices, with traders increasing their procurement volumes. However, due to recent price fluctuations, some foreign traders remain in a wait-and-see stance.   Contant Long Silicon Our company was founded in 2006 with a registered capital of 5 million CNY.

SMM reported on June 11 that domestic magnesium prices bottomed out today. The mainstream quotations for spot 99.90% magnesium ingot in the Shaanxi market were in the range of 16,300-16,400 yuan/mt, up 300 yuan/mt from the morning quotations. SMM, June 11: Today, domestic magnesium prices bottomed out and rebounded. The mainstream quotations for spot 99.90% magnesium ingot in the Shaanxi market ranged from 16,300 to 16,400 yuan/mt, up 300 yuan/mt from the morning quotations. Today, the magnesium market showed signs of recovery, with the market quotation for 99.90% magnesium ingot in the Fugu area rebounding to 16,400 yuan/mt. Market confidence has significantly improved compared to the previous period. According to feedback from traders, as magnesium prices bottomed out and rebounded, downstream inquiry activity increased significantly. Some on-the-sidelines end-users gradually entered the market for procurement. Magnesium plants took advantage of the situation to refuse to budge on prices and push them up, driving market prices to rise steadily. However, some purchasing companies remain cautious about the current price rally, believing that the supply surplus pressure brought about by the upcoming production resumptions of magnesium ingot producers has not yet been effectively alleviated, and magnesium prices still face significant operational pressure from fundamental factors. According to SMM’s latest analysis, the current process of production resumptions among magnesium smelters continues to advance, and the surplus pressure on the supply side remains unresolved. Coupled with the weakening downstream end-use demand being transmitted upstream along the industry chain, the volume of magnesium ingot purchase orders has significantly decreased, resulting in a lack of follow-through growth momentum for this round of magnesium price rebounds. Overall, it is expected that magnesium ingot prices will gradually enter a phase of stable pricing in the short term. SMM will continue to monitor market transaction dynamics and changes in the supply-demand pattern.   Contant Long Silicon Our company was founded in 2006 with a registered capital of 5 million CNY.

What is Low Grade Silicon (Silicon Slag)? Low grade silicon, also commonly known in industrial metallurgy as silicon slag, refers to the by-product of silicon metal or ferrosilicon production. Despite having lower purity levels (typically 30%–60% Si), it retains sufficient active silicon content to be effectively used in steelmaking, casting, and ferroalloy processes. Rather than being discarded, silicon slag is collected, sorted, and processed into usable particle sizes, making it an ideal low-cost substitute for traditional silicon-based deoxidizers like ferrosilicon (FeSi). Low Grade Silicon Typical Chemical Composition Element Content Range Role Si 30% – 60% Active silicon for deoxidation C 0.2% – 1.5% Residual carbon, sometimes beneficial in carburization Fe ≤ 5.0% From ferrosilicon remnant Al ≤ 3.0% Varies, may affect slag formation Ca ≤ 1.5% May assist desulfurization S, P ≤ 0.05% Typically controlled Custom grades available to meet your steelmaking or casting requirements. Low Grade Silicon Main Applications 1. Steelmaking Industry Silicon slag is widely used as a deoxidizer in the production of carbon steel and alloy steel. It helps to remove oxygen from molten steel, improving fluidity and reducing impurities. Why choose silicon slag over ferrosilicon? Similar function at much lower cost Ideal for ladle refining or converter operations Especially useful in low-silicon steel grades 2. Foundry and Casting In grey iron or malleable iron casting, silicon slag contributes to: Promoting graphite formation Enhancing surface quality of castings Improving iron flowability It can be used alone or blended with ferrosilicon depending on specific metallurgy requirements. 3. Ferroalloy and Slag Conditioner In silicon manganese or ferrochrome smelting, low-grade silicon is used to: Adjust silicon ratios in the alloy mix Act as a slag conditioner, improving slag viscosity and removing impurities Why Use Low-Grade Silicon (Silicon Slag)? 1. Cost Savings Compared with ferrosilicon (FeSi 75 or 72), silicon slag can cut raw material costs by 20–40%, especially in non-critical or secondary steel grades. 2. Functional Efficiency Even with lower silicon content, it maintains sufficient metallurgical activity for deoxidation, especially in converter and ladle operations. 3. Sustainability Silicon slag represents a responsible approach to waste recycling and resource optimization in the silicon industry. Its use supports circular economy goals. 4. Supply Availability As a by-product, supply is consistent and available in large volumes, especially from China-based producers.
