Application and advantages of silicon-carbon alloy in steelmaking


Silicon carbon alloy is a kind of deoxidizer and additive for steelmaking. The raw materials for the smelting of silicon-carbon alloys are silica and coke. As a new type of composite deoxidizer, silicon-carbon alloy has been approved by major steel mills and foundries.

Why can silicon-carbon alloys stand out in steelmaking and casting? What are the advantages of silicon carbon alloy? The silicon metal manufacturer will share with you in detail that the original silicon-carbon alloy is in demand in metallurgical materials mainly because of its function and cost performance. Silicon-carbon alloy can be used as a deoxidizer in steelmaking, especially when making plain carbon steel, silicon-carbon alloy is a necessity.
It is necessary to add silico-manganese, ferrosilicon, silicon-aluminum-barium-calcium, and silicon-carbon alloys, silico-manganese, and ferrosilicon to smelt ordinary carbon steel in the converter. In order to reduce costs, adding cost-effective silicon-carbon alloys is a good choice.

According to a workshop manager who has used silicon-carbon alloy, after silicon-carbon alloy is added to molten steel, the diffusion effect is very good, and the deoxidation speed is very fast. Because silicon has high activity, it can react when added to molten steel. , And release a lot of heat, the deoxidation time is short, and the efficiency is high. Not only that, compared with the use of silicon-carbon alloy and the use of recarburizers, the recarburization effect of silicon-carbon alloys can be comparable to that of recarburizers. Therefore, in the future, there is one more option for the choice of carbon increase.

Silicon-carbon alloys are mainly 0-10 silicon-carbon particles, and can also be made into silicon-carbon balls with a ball press in the factory. Compared with silicon-carbon particles, silicon-carbon balls are easier to sink into molten steel, and The reaction speeds up the deoxygenation rate, and the produced oxide has a low melting point and is easy to float. This can also solve the problem of clogging of the furnace mouth. According to the amount of molten steel, it can be used quantitatively. When packaging the silicon-carbon alloy, you can choose tons of packaging, small bags and tons of small bags.

The above is the role of silicon carbon alloy in steelmaking and the reasons why silicon carbon alloy is favored by steel mills. I hope it can be helpful to you.
