Silicon carbon alloy is a binary alloy composed of silicon and carbon, which belongs to the category of iron alloy. Its main components are silicon and carbon, and it also contains impurities such as iron, aluminum, carbon, sulfur and phosphorus in varying amounts. It is used as an inoculant and denaturant in the cast iron industry.
Silicon carbon alloys are mainly used in steelmaking and cast iron production.
Carbon and silicon have great affinity with oxygen, and the deoxidized products are easy to float and discharge, so the molten steel deoxidized by silicon carbon alloy is relatively pure. When making high quality steel and special alloys, silicon carbon alloys are often used as deoxidizers .
In the production of cast iron, calcium silicon can improve the properties of cast iron more effectively than ferrosilicon. Silicon carbon alloy is not only an effective inoculant to promote the formation of spherical graphite, but also has the effect of deoxidation, desulfurization, denitrification and silicon increase.
Silicon carbon alloy is an ideal compound deoxidizer and desulfurizer. Silicon alloy not only has strong deoxidation ability, and the deoxidized products are easy to float and discharge, but also can improve the performance of steel, and improve the plasticity, impact toughness and fluidity of steel. Silicon carbon alloys can replace aluminum for final deoxidation. Be applied to high quality steel. Production of special steels and special alloys. For example, steel grades such as rail steel, low carbon steel, and stainless steel, and special alloys such as nickel-based alloys and titanium-based alloys, silicon carbon alloys can be used as deoxidizers. Silicon carbon alloys are also suitable as warming agents for converter steelmaking workshops. Silicon carbon alloys can also be used as inoculants for cast iron and additives in the production of ductile iron.
