In what fields can ferrosilicon powder be mainly used
Ferro-silicon powder is an ferroalloy composed of iron and silicon. It is made of coke, steel chips and quartz by smelting in an electric furnace. Because silicon and oxygen readily combine to form silicon dioxide, ferrosilicon powder is often used as a deoxidizer in steelmaking, and because the formation of silicon dioxide releases large amounts of heat. During deoxidation of ferrosilicon powder, it is also very advantageous to raise the temperature of molten steel. In addition, ferrosilicon powder can also be used as an alloying element additive, as a reducing agent in ferroalloy production and chemical industry.
Ferrosilicon powder is an essential deoxidizer in steelmaking industry. In torch steel, ferrosilicon is used for precipitating and diffusing deoxidation. Brick iron is also used as an alloy in steelmaking. Adding a certain amount of silicon in steel can significantly improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of steel, improve the permeability of steel, and reduce the hysteresis loss of transformer steel. High silicon iron or silicon alloys are used as reductants in the production of low carbon ferroalloys in the ferroalloy industry. Silicon iron powder can be used as an inoculant for ductile iron, and can prevent the formation of carbide, promote the precipitation and spheroidization of graphite, and improve the properties of cast iron.
In addition, ferrosilicon powder can be used as suspension phase in mineral processing industry, and as coating for welding electrode in welding electrode manufacturing industry. High silicon ferrosilicon can be used to produce pure silicon of semiconductor in electrical industry, and can be used to produce silicone in chemical industry. As the main product of our company, our company can provide different kinds and qualified ferrosilicon alloys according to the requirements of customers on the one hand.
