How to choose silicon slag instead of ferrosilicon?
May 30, 2022
Silicon slag is actually produced in the process of producing alloys such as ferrosilicon or metal silicon in the electric furnace smelting process, and the final product is unqualified due to some unexpected factors. Silicon slag also includes ferrosilicon slag, industrial silicon slag and silicon carbon slag. Products, with different index models, have different prices and uses. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish the specific use of the product, the specific index model, and purchase the appropriate product. The content of silicon slag is generally: 30, 40, 50, 60. In most cases, many customers use it to replace ferrosilicon in casting to save costs, and it can also be used to refine pig iron. The effect is very good, and it can save a lot of money. Low cost, is a product with relatively high economic benefits.
The silicon content of the silicon slag 50 is about 50%. Compared with other traditional ferroalloy products, the ex-factory price of silicon slag 50 is economical and affordable. It can be used in deoxidation, casting, steelmaking and other industries. Silicon slag 50 is used in the remanufacturing process. It can effectively reduce production costs, strengthen resource recovery, greatly shorten deoxidation time, and improve steelmaking efficiency.
There is also a ferrosilicon slag product, which can be used to replace ferrosilicon with good effect. It contains pure silicon and iron, and the effect is very good, that is, the content of silicon in it is slightly lower, but the price is higher than that of silicon. Iron is much cheaper and can be used instead of ferrosilicon, saving costs. Ferrosilicon slag is suitable for cupola, electric furnace and converter. Strong deoxidation and desulfurization ability, effectively improve the fluidity of molten steel, purify molten steel, reduce impurities in steel, reduce steelmaking costs, and improve economic benefits.
