Why you add ferroalloys in molten material instead of original metals?

As ferro alloys has relatively low melting point compared to pure metal. It can readily dissolve in liquid steel. Considering economics ferro alloys are far cheaper than that of pure form of metal. Fe in ferro alloys act as carrier for element having density less than that of liquid steel. then why u original metal go for ferro alloy
