A state diagram of the Cr-Mn-Si-Fe metallic system, which simulates the compositions of complex chromium-manganese-silicon-containing ferroalloy (Fe-Cr-Mn-Si), has been constructed using thermodynamic-diagram analysis. Theoretical investigations have determined that the system comprises eight elementary tetrahedra. The sum of the relative volumes of the elementary tetrahedra equals one (1.00000), confirming the accuracy of the tetrahedration conducted. Analytical expressions for each tetrahedron have been de-rived. Calculations have determined the tetrahedron characterizing the phase composition of the ferroalloy. This tetrahedron is iden-tified as the most voluminous phase triangle in the Cr-Mn-Si-Fe metallic system, implying that its significant volume facilitates the smelting process of chromium-manganese-silicon-containing ferroalloy, i.e., there is the possibility of freely regulating the charge compositions to achieve the required alloy grade. Based on the obtained results, an experimental smelting of the Fe-Cr-Mn-Si ferroal-loy was conducted using a charge composed of chromium ore, low-grade manganese ore, and coke, resulting in a sample with the following composition, %: 44.07 Cr, 13.97 Fe, 12.48 Mn, 9.48 Si, 4.45 C. The microstructure comprises a complex silicide (Cr, Fe, Mn)3Si and Cr3C2 carbides.
