The use of Ferrosilicon 

Jul 30, 2019

Henan star metallurgy is a professional production of ferroalloys and metallurgical materials manufacturers, the following to introduce to you several major uses of ferro silicon .


(1) ferro silicon is used as an oxygen attribution and alloy in the steelmaking industry. In order to obtain the chemical composition of qualified steel and ensure the quality of steel, in the final stage of steelmaking must be deoxygenated, silicon and oxygen between the chemical affinity is very large, so ferro silicon is a strong deoxygenator for precipitation and diffusion deoxygenation. Adding a certain amount of silicon to the steel can significantly improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of the steel, so when smelting structural steel (including silicon 0.40-1.75%), tool steel (including SiO.30-1.8%), spring steel (including SiO.40-2.8%) and silicon steel (including silicon 2.81-4.8%) in smelting structures, ferro silicon is also used as an alloy agent. At the same time, improving the form of inclusions to reduce the content of gas elements in steel liquid is an effective new technology to improve the quality of steel, reduce costs and save iron. Especially suitable for continuous cast steel water deoxygenation requirements, the practice has proved that ferro silicon not only meets the requirements of deoxygenation of steelmaking, but also has the properties of desulfurization and has the advantages of significant, strong penetration and so on. In addition, in the steelmaking industry, the use of ferro silicon powder at high temperature sepsis can release a large amount of heat this characteristic, often used as a cap heating agent to improve the quality and recovery rate of ingots.

(2) ferro silicon is used as a incubator and gloating agent in the cast iron industry. Cast iron is an important metal material in modern industry, it is cheaper than steel, easy to melt and smelt, with excellent casting performance and much better resistance than steel. In particular, ball-ink cast iron, its mechanical properties to achieve or close to the mechanical properties of steel.Adding a certain amount of ferro silicon in cast iron can prevent the formation of carbonicide in iron, promote graphite precipitation and globulification, so in the production of spherical cast iron, ferro silicon is an important incubator (to help analyze graphite) and globulin.

(3)ferro silicon is used as a reducing agent in the production of ferroalloys. Not only is the chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen very large, but also high silicon iron has a low carbon content.Therefore, High silicon ferrosilicon(or silicon alloy) is a kind of reducing agent which is commonly used in the production of low-carbon ferroalloys in the ferroalloy industry.

(4)ferro silicon 75 in the Pijiang method of magnesium smelting is often used in the high-temperature smelting process of metal magnesium, caO.MgO in the magnesium replacement out, each ton of metal magnesium will consume about 1.2 tons of silicon iron, the production of metal magnesium plays a great role. (5) The use of silicon iron in other aspects. The finely polished or atomized treated ferro silicon powder can be used as a suspended phase in the mineral processing industry. It can be used as a coating for welding rods in the manufacturing of welding rods.High silicon ferrosilicon can be used in the chemical industry to manufacture silicone and other products. Among these uses, the steelmaking, foundry and ferroalloy industries are the largest users of ferro silicon. Together, they consume more than 90% of the ferro silicon. Of the various grades of silicon iron, the most widely used is 75% ferro silicon

In the steelmaking industry, approximately 3-5 kg 75% ferro silicon is consumed for every 1t steel produced. Henan star metallurgy is a 15 years of experience in the production of ferro silicon manufacturers and perfect scientific research team equipment facilities, with content standards, good quality, excellent price characteristics.
