Why high carbon silicon is popular
High carbon silicon is also called Silicon - carbon alloy or High carbon ferro silicon. It is main used in foundries.
As we know ,the cast iron contain C: 2-4%, Si: 1-3%, and Carbon and silicon are the main elements affecting the microstructure of cast iron.
High Carbon Silicon has made silicon and carbon alloyed in it, so it can provide the two elements effectively. Common specifications are: si68c18、si65c15、si60c15,etc.
In recent years,it also be used in steel making, especially steel scraps melting. It serves as deoxidizer and efficient heating agentand recarburizer. When the silicon and carbon content is greater than 90%, the impurity is very less, so the input is easy to control.
Product Description
high carbon silicon chips
I can proudly say that we are the first and biggest company dealing with this product in China. We supply nearly 1000 MT per month to Japan and Korean market, where the quality standards are extremely strict. So our outstanding advantages lie in the high quality and supply capacity.
Where it comes from
When introducing this products, some salesmen often misleading the customers deliberately or inadvertently by saying that it is a newly designed product or a slag. Actually it is a by product comes from silicon metal plant. It deposits on the bottom of the melting furnace, and has to be cleaned out in months interval. But with technological development, the interval has prolonged from three months to six months. So the output of this product is limited. We collect and select this product from bigger Silicon metal factories all around China.
Why it is popular
High Carbon Silicon has made carbon alloyed
It is main used in foundries. As you know the cast iron contain C: 2-4%, Si: 1-3%, and Carbon and silicon are the main elements affecting the microstructure of cast iron.High Carbon Silicon has made carbon alloyed in it, so it can provide the two elements effectively. Lately it also be used in steel making, especially steel scraps melting. It serves as deoxidizer and efficient heating agent (Si&C: 6.58kcal/g, 1.24kcal/g each) and recarburizer. With Si&C at least 90%, the impurity is very less, so the input is easy to control.
