Ferrosilicon is widely used in the process of steelmaking and has very good characteristics, which greatly improves the output and quality of steel. Next, the manufacturer will introduce the application of ferrosilicon in the steelmaking industry.


It is used as deoxidizer and alloying agent in steelmaking industry. In order to obtain steel with qualified chemical composition and ensure the quality of steel, deoxidation must be carried out in the post * * * stage of steelmaking. The chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is very large. Therefore, ferrosilicon is a strong deoxidizer for steelmaking, which is used for precipitation and diffusion deoxidation. Adding a certain amount of silicon to the steel can significantly improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of the steel. Therefore, ferrosilicon is also used as an alloying agent when smelting structural steel (0.40-1.75% silicon in bud), tool steel (containing si0.30-1.8%), spring steel (containing si0.40-2.8%) and silicon steel for transformer (containing silicon 2.81-4.8%). In addition, in the steelmaking industry, ferrosilicon powder can release a large amount of heat at high temperature. It is often used as a heating agent for ingot cap to improve the quality and recovery of ingot.


There are many factors affecting the development of steel-making industry. The wide application of ferrosilicon not only improves the quality of steel and greatly reduces the cost of steel-making.
