Ferro Silicon / Ferrosilicon /Silicon Ferro-silicon powder

Ferrosilicon powder is mainly used in steel and cast iron. Used in alloy structural steel, spring steel, low-alloy high-strength steel, heat-resistant steel, stainless steel, etc. Boron can improve toughness and wear resistance in cast iron. It is widely used in the manufacture of automobiles, tractors, and machine tools.
Ferrosilicon powder An iron alloy composed of iron and silicon, which is then ground into a powdery substance, which is used as a deoxidizer for steelmaking and ironmaking.
The use of ferrosilicon powder:
1. Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can significantly improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of steel. Therefore, when smelting structural steel, tool steel, spring steel, and silicon steel for transformers, ferrosilicon is also used as an alloying agent. . It is used as an inoculant and spheroidizing agent in the cast iron industry.
2. Adding a certain amount of ferrosilicon to cast iron can prevent the formation of carbides in the iron and promote the precipitation and spheroidization of graphite. Therefore, in the production of nodular cast iron, it is a spheroidizing agent.
3. Used as a reducing agent in the production of ferroalloys. Not only the chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is great, but the carbon content of high-silicon ferrosilicon is very low. Therefore, high-silicon ferrosilicon (or silicon alloy) is a commonly used reducing agent in the production of low-carbon iron alloys in the ferroalloy industry.
4. Not only the chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is great, but also the carbon content of high-silicon ferrosilicon is very low. Therefore, high-silicon ferrosilicon (or silicon alloy) is a commonly used reducing agent in the production of low-carbon iron alloys in the ferroalloy industry.
5. Uses in other aspects. The ground or atomized ferrosilicon powder can be used as the suspended phase in the mineral processing industry.
6. It can be used as coating for welding rods in welding rod manufacturing. High-silicon ferrosilicon can be used to make products such as silicone in the chemical industry.
