What are the benefits of using high carbon silicon

Mar 14, 2022

High carbon silicon has high density and high purity, does not pollute molten steel after use, has high recovery rate and stable effect, can replace some ferro silicon, silicon carbide, and carburizers, reduces the amount of deoxidizers, and is easy to operate without increasing equipment. Well received by users.

1. Deoxidation advantages of high carbon silicon

High carbon silicon contains silicon element. After adding high carbon silicon in the steelmaking process, the silicon element in it has an affinity reaction with oxygen to deoxidize the oxygen in the molten steel to improve the hardness and quality of the steel. Oxygen has a good affinity, so the molten steel also has the characteristics of no splash after being placed.

2. Advantages of slag collection of high carbon silicon

High carbon silicon also has the advantage of slag collection. Putting a certain proportion of high carbon silicon into molten steel can make the oxides in the steelmaking process quickly form agglomeration, which is convenient for filtration treatment, making the molten steel more pure, and greatly improving the density and hardness of the steel. .

3. The advantages of high carbon silicon to increase furnace temperature

High carbon silicon is a good temperature-resistant material. In the process of steelmaking, adding high carbon silicon can increase the furnace temperature, increase the conversion rate of ferroalloys, and accelerate the reaction speed of molten steel and elements.

4. High carbon silicon allows many manufacturers to save costs

As a new type of metallurgical material, high carbon silicon is favored by many manufacturers because its price is lower than that of traditional metallurgical materials. High carbon silicon can replace expensive metallurgical materials such as ferro silicon and achieve unexpected and satisfactory results. Therefore, high carbon silicon is used. It can save the cost of the manufacturer and increase the profit.
