Tom O: When you cast iron where do you get the Ferro Silicon from and do you add sawdust or coal dust to the sand?

As one knows Wood dust, Coal dust/charcoal dust is use in cast iron to stop Green sand from melting on to the casting. Spray the sand mold with Graphite. Put a handful of limestone gravel on top of the scrap cast iron in the crucible. Too up the carbon in the charge have put Crushed BBQ Bricks, Coal and wood dust in the Charge - big wood handle to stir - getting the cast Iron up to super Heat as well. The pot is just like a sparkler.

i see that one can now get small amounts of Ferrosilicon alloy on FleeBay.
