Ferro Silicon
Ferro Silicon
Ferro silicon alloy is mainly used as charging materials in smelting industries such as ferrous and non-ferrous metals. As a deoxidizer in crude steel smelting in the iron and steel industry, ferro silicon is an essential metallurgical raw material. It emits a lot of heat when SiO2 is generated, it is beneficial to increase the temperature of molten steel while deoxidizing. As an alloying element additive, ferro silicon is widely used in low-alloy structural steel, alloy steel, spring steel, bearing steel, heat-resistant steel and electrical silicon steel.
High-silicon ferro silicon or siliceous alloy are used as reducing agents in the production of low-carbon iron alloy in the ferro alloy industry. Ferro silicon added to cast iron can be used as an inoculant for nodular cast iron, and can prevent the formation of carbide, promote the precipitation and nodulizing of the graphite, and improve the properties of cast iron. A large amount of ferro silicon is also needed as an additive in the smelting process of metallic magnesium.
In steelmaking industry, it consumes about 3-5kg 75% ferro silicon as producing one ton steel. Normal steel contains 0.15%-0.35% silicon, structural steel contains 0.40%-1.75% silicon, tool steel contains 0.30%-1.80% silicon, spring steel contains 0.40%-2.80% silicon, and stainless acid-resistant steel contains 3.40%-4.00% silicon, heat-resistant steel contains 1.00%-3.00%silicon, silicon steel contains 2%-3% or higher silicon.
