Ferro Silicon

Usage of the Ferro Silicon

(1) Used as a deoxidizer and alloying agent in the steel industry. In order to obtain qualified chemical composition and guarantee the quality of steel, in the last stage the steel must be deoxi- dized. The chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is very large,Thus ferrosilicon is a strong deoxidizer used in sedimentation and diffusion deoxidation of steel-making. Adding a certain amount of silicon to the steel, can significantly improve the strength, hardness, and elasticity of steel.

(2) Used as a nucleating agent and spheroidizing agent in the iron industry. Cast iron is a kind of important modern industrial metal material，It is much cheaper than steel, easily to melt refining, with excellent casting performance and seismic capacity is much better than steel. Especially the nodular cast iron,Its mechanical properties are at or near the mechanical properties of steel. Add a certain amount of silicon in cast iron can prevent iron formation, and promote the precipitation of graphite and carbide spheroidizing. Thus in nodular iron production, ferrosilicon is a kind of important inoculant ( Help separate out graphite)and spheroidizing agent.

Properties And Advantages Of Ferro Silicon

1. High purity

The silicon content of high-purity ferrosilicon is very high, usually between 70-75%, so it has a very high purity. This high purity makes high-purity ferrosilicon very important in the fields of iron and steel smelting and casting, because it can provide high-quality silicon elements, thereby improving the quality of steel and castings.

2. Good stability

The chemical properties of high-purity ferrosilicon are very stable, and it is not easy to react with other elements. This stability makes high-purity ferrosilicon very popular in fields such as iron and steel smelting and casting, because it can ensure the stable quality of steel and castings and avoid quality problems.

3. Good processing performance

High-purity ferrosilicon has very good processing properties and can be processed by smelting, casting, and other methods. This processability makes high-purity ferrosilicon very practical in fields such as iron and steel smelting and foundry, because it can be easily processed into castings and steel products of various shapes and sizes.

4. Good high-temperature resistance

High-purity ferrosilicon has very good high-temperature resistance and can maintain stability in high-temperature environments. This high temperature resistance makes
High-purity ferrosilicon is very practical in fields such as iron and steel smelting and casting, because it can maintain stability in high-temperature environments and avoid quality problems.
