How did the silicon slag become the meat and potatoes of the deoxidizer, favored by the steel mills?


Silica slag is a strong deoxidizer, which is widely used in steel mills and foundries, and can effectively reduce production costs and improve production efficiency, which is favored by major steel mills.


Silicon slag instead of ferrosilicon for steel plants


Silica slag, a product with low price and good effect, is used by steel mills to replace ferrosilicon and is a good deoxidizer, which has got the effect of cost reduction and efficiency. The particle size is mainly 0-5/0-10mm powder, which is the meat and potatoes in steel mills.


Silicon slag can also be used for slag refining pig iron, ordinary casting, etc. Silicon slag can be very good to improve furnace temperature, increase the fluidity of the iron, high quality slagging, increase the mark; stainless steel manufacturers with electric furnace refining stainless steel process, with silicon slag as a reducing agent, upgrade the efficiency and yield.


Classification of silicon slag according to different grades


The content of silicon slag is generally 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, different content of silicon slag use is different, silicon slag can be broadly divided into industrial silicon slag, solar silicon slag, semiconductor silicon slag, etc. Silicon slag can be described as an economic and yet affordable a ferroalloy products, the use is also relatively wide, is a better deoxidizer.
