Silicon metal 2202 is commonly added to molten metals, such as cast iron and steel, as a deoxidizer. During the melting process, oxygen and other impurities can react with the metal, leading to defects in the final castings. By adding silicon metal, these impurities are scavenged, resulting in cleaner and higher-quality castings.
In cast iron foundries, silicon metal 2202 promotes the formation of graphite during solidification. This graphite forms in a flake or nodular (spheroidal) structure, depending on the specific composition and cooling conditions. The presence of graphite improves the mechanical properties of cast iron, such as strength, ductility, and thermal conductivity.
