Ferrosilicon can be used in many industries. Now the demand for ferrosilicon is also increasing significantly. Do you know the specific uses of ferrosilicon? Ferrosilicon manufacturers have sorted out the use of ferrosilicon for you, hoping to help you.
Silicon and iron alloy, ferrosilicon is based on coke, silica, steel scrap as raw material, and then through the electric furnace smelting ferrosilicon alloy, silicon can be used as deoxidizer and deoxidation process can raise the temperature of molten steel, alloy elements if add ferrosilicon, mind used in low alloy structural steel, spring steel, bearing steel, heat-resistant steel, and so on.
Uses of ferrosilicon:
(1) Silicon can be used as optical fiber for communication. Glass fibers with high transparency are drawn by pure silica. Fiber communication capacity is high, a hair as thin as the glass fiber, can transmit 256 telephone at the same time, it is not affected by electricity, magnetic interference, not afraid of eavesdropping, with a high degree of confidentiality. Fiber optic communication will revolutionize human life in the 21st century.
(2) Ferrosilicon is often used in the process of high temperature smelting of metal magnesium in pijiang process
(3) Used as reducing agent in ferroalloy production
(4) Used as inoculant and spheroidizing agent in cast iron industry
Among these uses, the steelmaking industry, the foundry industry and the ferroalloy industry are large users of ferrosilicon. Together they consume more than 90% of ferrosilicon.
