Wide application of high carbon silicon briquette in steelmaking

Oct 24, 2022

High carbon silicon briquette, as the most commonly used deoxidizer in steelmaking, have a very good deoxidation effect. In addition, high carbon silicon briquette can also be used as a warming agent.

In steelmaking, adding an appropriate amount of high carbon silicon briquette can have a good deoxidation effect and reduce the deoxidation time by 10-30%. This is mainly due to the rich silicon content inside the high carbon silicon briquette, which can be said to be counted in steelmaking. It is an indispensable and important deoxidizing element. People with good chemistry know that silicon has a very stable affinity with oxygen and can generate silicon dioxide. Steelmaking can be used for rapid deoxidation.

However, anyone who has a certain understanding of high carbon silicon briquette knows that high carbon silicon briquette are not only as simple as deoxidation in the steelmaking industry, but because they can quickly reduce the oxygen content in molten steel, the oxides in molten steel are virtually reduced. Improve the purity of molten steel and greatly improve the quality of steel, so high carbon silicon briquette also have the application of reducing smelting slag. In addition, High carbon silicon briquette can also be used in the foundry industry, which can play a good role in promoting the formation of ball milling, so it is of great significance to improve the quality of castings, and it is also useful to improve the efficiency of production.
