Is ferrosilicon and silicon carbide the same? What's the difference?

1. Silicon carbide has high temperature resistance, high strength, good thermal conductivity, impact resistance, and can be used as high temperature indirect heating material.
2. Silicon carbide has the characteristics of heat radiation, high heat intensity and high heat intensity. The manufacture of thin plate kiln furniture can not only reduce the capacity of kiln furniture, but also improve the kiln capacity and product quality, shorten the production cycle, and is the best choice for ceramic glaze baking and sintering. Ideal indirect material.
Third, use the corrosion resistance of silicon carbide. Resistant to thermal shock and abrasion. With good heat conduction, it is used in the lining of large blast furnaces to improve the service life.
4. Using the good heat conduction and thermal stability of silicon carbide as a heat exchanger can reduce fuel consumption by 20%, save fuel by 35%, and increase productivity by 20-30%.
Ferrosilicon: the alloy of silicon and iron.
1. Used as reducing agent in ferroalloy production.
2. Used as deoxidizer and alloying agent in steelmaking industry. Utilizing the feature that ferrosilicon powder can release a lot of heat when it is burned at high temperature, it is often used as a heating agent for steel ingot caps to improve the quality and recovery rate of steel ingots.
3. Finely ground or atomized ferrosilicon powder can be used as a suspension phase in the mineral processing industry. In the welding rod manufacturing industry, it can be used as a coating for welding rods. High-silicon ferrosilicon can be used in the chemical industry to make products such as silicone.
4. Used as inoculant and nodulizer in cast iron industry. Adding a certain amount of ferrosilicon can prevent the formation of carbides in iron and promote the precipitation and spheroidization of graphite. Therefore, in the production of ductile iron, ferrosilicon is an important inoculant and spheroidizer.
