What is High Carbon Ferrosilicon?
High-carbon ferrosilicon is ferrosilicon with large carbon content, also known as silicon-carbon alloy. High-carbon ferrosilicon is often used in steelmaking furnaces. For example, as a new type of strong composite deoxidizer, it can also be used in the tempering treatment of ordinary steel, alloy steel, and special steel. In addition, as a heating agent, it can also replace traditional heating agents with higher prices in converter and hearth steelmaking.
High-carbon Ferrosilicon is a Commonly Used Deoxidizer Which Has the Following Advantages:
The deoxidation process does not produce a hydrogen source, which is safe and reliable; carbon and silicon are important elements that determine the properties of steel. High-carbon ferrosilicon can not only react with oxygen in molten steel to achieve the effect of deoxidation, leaving unoxidized carbon and silicon, but also dissolve in molten steel to increase silicon and carbon, achieving the effect of killing two birds with one stone.
In order to obtain steel with qualified chemical composition and ensure the quality of steel, deoxidation treatment is required for steelmaking. The chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is very high, so ferrosilicon is a strong deoxidizer for precipitation and diffusion deoxidation in steelmaking. Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can significantly improve the strength, hardness, and elasticity of steel.
As a new type of alloy, silicon-carbon alloy is favored by buyers nowadays. Many cast iron and steel manufacturers make regular purchases of silicon carbide alloys. The main reason is that the price of ferrosilicon has risen recently. In order to reduce the cost of steelmaking, many buyers began to purchase cost-effective silicon-carbon alloys instead of ferrosilicon, and the effect of silicon-carbon alloys is actually very good.
What Is the Difference Between Silicon Carbon and Ferrosilicon?
1. The price difference between silicon carbon alloy and ferrosilicon
Silicon carbon alloy is a new type of ferroalloy product. Compared with ferrosilicon, silicon carbon alloy is cheaper. When purchasing the same type of ferrosilicon, the price of silicon-carbon alloy is often less than half. Therefore, in the case of rising ferrosilicon prices, silicon-carbon alloys are a better choice for many manufacturers to save costs.
2. The difference between silicon-carbon alloy and ferrosilicon element content
Since the price of silicon-carbon alloy is lower than that of ferrosilicon, the content of silicon-carbon alloy will be slightly lower than that of ferrosilicon, but the drop rate is small, and it can completely replace ferrosilicon. At the same time, taking into account the price advantage of silicon-carbon alloy, silicon-carbon Alloys are a better choice.
3. The difference between silicon carbon alloy and ferrosilicon in application effect
Silicon-carbon alloy can be used instead of ferrosilicon, but the application effect will be different. Silicon-carbon alloys are put into use. Since the content of silicon-carbon alloy elements is slightly lower than that of ferrosilicon, the effect of deoxidation and slag removal is better. Ferrosilicon will deteriorate, but it does not affect normal use.
