A variety of metallurgical products have the function of deoxidizer, so what are the specific ones? Let's learn:
(1) Ferro silicon: ferro silicon is mainly composed of iron and silicon. It is a common deoxidizer for steelmaking and casting. The chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is very large, which can effectively convert oxygen into silica. Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can effectively improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of steel.
(2) Silicon metal: metal silicon is also a commonly used steel deoxidation material, which can effectively separate the oxygen in molten steel, reduce the reaction capacity during smelting while deoxidizing, and make deoxidation safer!
(3) Ferromanganese: the main constituent elements of ferromanganese are manganese and iron. Ferromanganese is often used as casting deoxidizer, desulfurizer and alloy additive. Using ferromanganese as steel-making material can effectively deoxidize and improve the hardness and durability of steel!
(4) Silicon barium multicomponent alloy: silicon barium is a new multicomponent alloy. Its advantage is that it can customize the content, which is more targeted for steelmaking. Its internal silicon element can also be customized to make deoxidation better!
(5) Silicon carbon alloy: silicon carbon alloy is a by-product of smelting metal silicon. Its internal carbon content is relatively high, with the characteristics of low price and good quality. In the case of soaring price of ferrosilicon, silicon carbon alloy is an ideal material to replace ferrosilicon!
(6) Silicon slag: silicon slag is the bottom slag produced by smelting ferrosilicon and metal silicon. It still contains a certain amount of silicon element. Silicon slag can be used as deoxidizer for steelmaking. At the same time, it can also be purified again to produce ferroalloy products with high silicon content, which can effectively reduce steelmaking cost and improve manufacturer's efficiency and product quality!
