What is ferrosilicon used for?

Ferrosilicon occupies a relatively important position in ferroalloy products, and is used in a relatively large amount in steelmaking and casting. What is the specific use of ferrosilicon? The following ferrosilicon manufacturer Hensfate metal will take you to understand the use of ferrosilicon in detail;

Ferrosilicon is an alloy of iron and silicon.Ferrosilicon is coke, steel chips, quartz (or silica) as raw materials, smelted by electric furnace made of iron silicon alloy.Common uses of ferrosilicon are as follows:

(1)Ferrosilicon is an essential deoxidizer in steelmaking industry.In steelmaking, ferrosilicate is used for precipitation deoxidation and diffusion deoxidation.Brick iron is also used as an alloying agent in steelmaking.

(2) Ferro silicon Used as inoculant and spheroidizer in cast iron industry.In the production of ductile iron, ferrosilicon is an important inoculant (to help precipitate graphite) and spheroidizer.

(3)Ferrosilicon used as reducing agent in ferroalloy production.Not only is the chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen great, but the carbon content of high silicon ferrosilicon is very low.Therefore, high silicon ferrosilicon (or siliceous alloy) is a commonly used reducing agent in the production of low carbon ferroalloy in the ferroalloy industry.

(4)75 ferrosilicon in Pijiang magnesium smelting is often used in the high temperature smelting process of magnesium, the magnesium replacement in CaO.MgO, each one ton of magnesium will consume about 1.2 tons of ferrosilicon, which plays a great role in the production of magnesium.

The above are several uses of ferrosilicon shared by Hensfate metal in detail for you, I hope it can be helpful to you! For more questions about ferrosilicon, metal silicon, silicon slag, and high carbon silicon, you can consult us at any time!

  • Application and advantages of silicon aluminum calcium composite deoxidizer

    Silicon-aluminum-calcium is a new type of compound deoxidizer auxiliary material. It uses the active properties of metallic silicon, aluminum and calcium. After being added to the ladle, the silicon-aluminum-calcium has a good effect of deoxidizing and purifying steel. The silicon-aluminum-calcium deoxidizer is an aluminum-based high-efficiency deoxidizer developed and produced by steel mills that do not increase silicon or nitrogen.
