Description ferro silicon and it's Chemical and Physical Characteristics

Description

Ferrosilicon is made of iron and silicon with a specific gravity silicon content 15-90%.

We can provide natural blocks, standard blocks, granules, powders, etc.

 

 

 

 

Application:

It is widely used in steel industry, foundry industry,smelting magnesium and other industrial production.

How to product ferrosilicon

  1. The primary raw material used in the production of fesi are iron ore,coke and silica. Iron ore is used  as the source of iron,while coke and silica are used as reducing agents.The quality of these raw material plays a significant role in the quality of the final product.
  2. Iron Ore+Silica+Coke–Submerged Arc Furnace–Finished product FeSi

Chemical and Physical Characteristics

  • HS CODE:7202210010
  • CAS NO.: 8049-17-0
  • China Standard:GB/T 2272-2020
  • Melting point: The melting temperature varies depending on the silicon content.
  • For example: FeSi 75 melting temperature range of 1300 ~ 1330 ℃.
  • FeSi 45 melting temperature range of 1250 ~ 1360 ℃.
  • Boiling Point: The boiling point for this substance is 2355°C
  • Stability:Ferrosilicon is extremely stable
  • Top quality ferrosilicon without weathering in a year.
  • Ordinary ferrosilicon will weathering in half a year

What are the types of ferrosilicon?

  1. Low Carbon FeSi—Used to avoid the reintroduction of carbon in the manufacture of stainless and electrical steels.
  2. Low Titanium FeSi—Used to avoid the formation of TiN and TiC mixtures in electrical steels and certain specialty steels.
  3. Low Aluminium FeSi—Used to avoid the formation of hard Al2O3 and Al2O3-CaO mixtures in a range of steel grades.
  4. Special ferrosilicon—A generic term for customized products requiring different alloying elements.

High Carbon Silicon – is also called silicon carbon alloy. lt can improve product quality, reduce alloy addition, lower steelmaking costs, and increase eco- nomic benefits.
In the field of steelmaking, high carbon silicon (also known as silicon carbon alloy) plays a crucial role as an important alloy additive. Recently, with technological breakthroughs, the silicon content in high carbon silicon has been increased to 72%, bringing new opportunities and challenges to steelmaking processes. High carbon silicon can indeed partially or fully replace ferrosilicon in certain applications. Both are commonly used alloy materials, primarily in the steel industry for processes like deoxidation, alloying, and composition adjustment. The substitutability of high-carbon silicon for ferrosilicon depends on their chemical composition and the specific requirements of the application. This article delves into the applications of high carbon silicon in steelmaking and the impact of 72% silicon-content high carbon silicon on the steel industry.
