Ferrosilicon powder can be used as deoxidizer alloy agent

Ferrosilicon powder is used as deoxidizer and alloy agent in steel-making industry.

1. Adding a certain amount of silicon to the steel can significantly improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of the steel. Therefore, when smelting structural steel, tool steel, spring steel, and silicon steel for transformer, ferrosilicon is also used as an alloying agent. It is used as inoculant and spheroidizer in cast iron industry.

2. Adding a certain amount of ferrosilicon to the cast iron can prevent the formation of carbide and promote the precipitation and spheroidization of graphite. Therefore, ferrosilicon is an important inoculant (to help the precipitation of graphite) and spheroidizer in the production of nodular cast iron.

3. Used as reducing agent in ferroalloy production. 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 siliceous alloy) is a kind of reducing agent commonly used in the production of low carbon ferroalloy in ferroalloy industry.

5. For other purposes. The ground or atomized ferrosilicon powder can be used as the suspension phase in the mineral processing industry.

6. It can be used as coating for electrode in electrode manufacturing industry. High silicon ferrosilicon can be used in the chemical industry to manufacture products such as silicone.
