The procurement of ferrosilicon and other ferroalloys

ANYANG ZHAOJIN FERROALLOY, as a new ferroalloy supplier, we have been committed to building a ferroalloy brand supplier. Although we are only a new company established in 2022, we have actually been in this industry for more than 10 years.
Taking ferrosilicon as an example,
Ferrosilicon is mainly used in steel mills and foundries as deoxidizer, inoculant, and alloying agent.
The purchasing departments of these companies are extremely conservative in selecting suppliers, and no one dares to change suppliers easily.
There are many factors to consider and consider when having to change suppliers, and they are all extremely important.
There are many aspects they have to consider

1.Quality stability
Ferrosilicon alloy is an important raw material in the steel casting process, and its quality directly affects the quality and performance of castings. Long-term and stable suppliers can usually provide reliable quality ferrosilicon alloys and ensure the stability of batch supply. If you change suppliers, you may need to re-verify their quality systems and product performance to ensure compliance with your company's requirements.

2. Cost-effectiveness
Changing ferrosilicon alloy suppliers may bring additional costs, including price differences, transportation costs, unstable delivery times, etc. When considering changing suppliers, you need to fully evaluate these costs and ensure that the new supplier can provide competitive prices and quality.

3. Supply chain risks
Changing suppliers may bring supply chain risks, including unstable supply, delayed delivery, and lax quality control. When selecting a new supplier, a comprehensive evaluation of its production capacity, quality system, transportation capabilities, etc. is required to ensure that it can meet the needs of the enterprise and reduce potential risks.

4.Technical support and service
Suppliers with long-term cooperation are usually able to provide better technical support and services, including product application guidance, technical consultation, after-sales service, etc. Changing suppliers may require re-establishing these relationships and adapting to new service standards and technical support systems.

Each of these aspects affects product quality, operating costs, and even corporate reputation.
