'''Ferroalloy''' refers to various [[alloy]]s of [[iron]] with a high proportion of one or more other [[Chemical element|element]], [[manganese]] or [[silicon]] for example. It is used in the production of [[steel]]s and alloys as a raw material.
The main ferroalloys are:
*FeMn - [[ferromanganese]]
*FeCr - [[ferrochromium]]
*FeMg - [[ferromagnesium]]
*FeMo - [[ferromolybdenum]] - min. 60% Mo, max. 1% Si, max. 0.5% Cu
*FeNi - [[ferronickel]]
*FeTi - [[ferrotitanium]] - 10..30-65..75% Ti, max. 5-6.5% Al, max. 1-4% Si
*FeV - [[ferrovanadium]]
*FeSi - [[ferrosilicon]] - 15-90% Si
*FeB - [[ferroboron]] - 12-20% of [[boron]], max. 3% of [[silicon]], max. 2% [[aluminium]], max. 1% of [[carbon]]
*FeP - [[ferrophosphorus]]
*FeCe - [[ferrocerium]]
*FeNb - [[ferroniobium]], also called [[ferrocolumbium]]
*FeW - [[ferrotungsten]]
*FeAl - [[ferroaluminum]]
*SiMn - [[silicomanganese]]
*FeSiMg – [[ferrosilicon magnesium]] (with Mg 4 to 25 %), also called nodulizer
