High carbon silicon advantages

Mar 02, 2022

High carbon silicon advantages:

1. High carbon silicon is ferrosilicon with a large carbon content, and high carbon silicon is often used in steelmaking furnaces. For example, as a new type of strong composite deoxidizer, it can also be used for general steel, alloy steel and special steel tempering. In addition, as a heating agent, it can also replace the traditional heating agent with higher price required in converter and open hearth steelmaking.

2. High carbon silicon is a commonly used deoxidizer with the following advantages: no hydrogen source is generated during the deoxidation process, ensuring safety and reliability; carbon and silicon are important elements that determine the function of steel, and high-carbon silicon can not only generate with oxygen in molten steel The reaction has a deoxidation effect, and the remaining unoxidized carbon and silicon can also be dissolved in molten steel to increase silicon and carbon, and achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

3. In order to obtain steel with qualified chemical composition and ensure the quality of steel, steelmaking needs to be deoxidized. The chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is very large, so ferrosilicon is a strong deoxidizer in steelmaking for precipitation and diffusion deoxidation. Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can significantly improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of steel.
