What are the reasons why steelmaking industry likes silicon calcium
Calcium silicon is a metallurgical resistant material, its main components are silicon and calcium, in the steelmaking industry, these two elements are very good chemical elements, with a good affinity, it can be used as cast iron inoculant, also can be used as a reducing agent, deoxidizer, so it is loved by the steelmaking industry.
The product after deoxidizing silicon calcium is easy to float and easy to discharge, so the liquid steel deoxidized with silicon calcium alloy is relatively pure. When making steel of high quality, silicon calcium alloy is commonly used as deoxidizer.
The calcium and sulfur in the silicon calcium alloy form the stable compound CaS, which is insoluble in the molten steel. Therefore, when the silicon calcium alloy is deoxidized, it also has the function of desulfurization. In the production of cast iron, calcium silicon can improve the performance of cast iron more effectively than ferrosilicon. Silica-calcium alloy is not only an effective inoculant to promote the formation of spherical graphite, but also has the effect of deoxidization, desulfurization, denitrification and silicon enhancement. So, calcium silicon is a very good effect of compound deoxidizer, desulfurizer.
