Ferroalloy procurement is often compared on unit price, but the true cost of an inconsistent batch appears later—in rework, yield loss, unstable recovery and quality claims.
What buyers should compare
- Key element variation across batches
- Restricted impurities such as phosphorus, sulfur and titanium
- Sampling and test methods
- MTR traceability
A better buying question
Instead of asking only “What is the price per tonne?”, ask how the supplier controls the specification from quotation to shipment.
