The Content Of Silicon In Ferrosilicon

We know that ferrosilicon is an alloy of silicon and iron. Two ferrosilicon of the same volume, the higher the silicon content, that is, the lower the iron content, the lighter the weight; Conversely, the less silicon there is, the more iron there is, the heavier it is. So the more silicon there is in ferrosilicon, the smaller the proportion; Conversely, the less silicon there is, the greater the ratio.

In the production of ferrosilicon, the characteristics of ferrosilicon are used to analyze the carbon content of ferrosilicon quickly. The method of measuring silicon content is called "specific gravity method". This method is simple, rapid and has practical significance in production. Because ferrosilicon also contains aluminum and calcium, their specific gravity differs from the ratio of silicon, such as calcium 1.54 to aluminum 2.7, often affecting the accuracy of the silicon content determination. Therefore, according to the conditions of raw materials and operating characteristics, the correction curve was drawn to improve the accuracy of silicon content determination.
