Ferrosilicon powder uses:
1. Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can effectively improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of the steel. Therefore, ferrosilicon powder is also used as an alloying agent when smelting structural steel, tool steel, spring steel, and silicon steel for transformers. use. Used as inoculant and spheroidizing agent in the cast iron industry.
2. Adding a certain amount of ferrosilicon powder and metallurgical materials 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 ductile iron, ferrosilicon powder is an important inoculant (helps precipitated graphite) and spheroidizing agent.
3. Used as reducing agent in ferroalloy production. Not only is the chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen very large, but the carbon content of high-silicon ferrosilicon powder is very low. Therefore, high-silicon ferrosilicon powder (or silicon alloy) is a commonly used reducing agent in the ferroalloy industry when producing low-carbon ferroalloys.
4. Not only is the chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen very large, but the carbon content of high-silicon ferrosilicon powder is very low. Therefore, high-silicon ferrosilicon powder (or silicon alloy) is a commonly used reducing agent in the ferroalloy industry when making low-carbon ferroalloys.
5. Use in other aspects. Ground or atomized ferrosilicon powder can be used as a suspended phase in the mineral processing industry.
6. It can be used as coating for welding rods in the welding rod manufacturing industry. High silicon ferrosilicon powder can be used in the chemical industry to manufacture silicone and other products.
