High carbon silicon for carbon structural steel

Jul 04, 2022

High carbon silicon is a new type of strong composite deoxidizer. It can also be used in the smelting of general steel and ordinary carbon steel. Its main elements are silicon and carbon. High carbon silicon can replace the traditional heating agent with higher price when steelmaking in converter and open hearth furnace.

High carbon ferro silicon is a commonly used deoxidizer and has 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. High carbon ferrosilicon can not only react with oxygen in molten steel to achieve deoxidation effect, but also the remaining carbon and silicon that have not been oxidized can also be dissolved in molten steel to increase silicon and carbon. To achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone. In order to obtain steel with qualified chemical composition and ensure the quality of steel, deoxidation should be carried out in steelmaking. The chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is very large, so ferro silicon 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.
