Introduction to the physical properties of ferrosilicon alloy
Ferrosilicon alloy is an iron alloy composed of iron and silicon. Ferrosilicon is made of coke, steel scraps, quartz (or silica) as raw materials and smelted in an electric furnace. ZhenAn Metallurgy is a manufacturer specializing in the production of spheroidizers and wholesale ferrosilicon. The following is a brief introduction to the physical properties of ferrosilicon alloy;
Pure silicon is steel gray, a crystalline substance with metallic luster, hard and brittle, and belongs to non-metal. The atomic weight of silicon is 28.08. , density is 2300kg/m3, and the melting point is 1535k.
Silicon and iron can be mutually soluble in any proportion, and can produce silicides such as fesi2, fesi fe5si3 fe2si, among which fesi exists in the liquid alloy, and the rest of the silicides can be decomposed in the solid state when heated.
Ferrosilicon is an iron alloy composed of iron and silicon. The melting point of ferrosilicon increases with the increase of silicon content, and the melting point of standard ferrosilicon is lower than 1643k.
Alloys of silicon and iron are prone to segregation. The difference between the silicon content in the upper part of the alloy ingot and the silicon content in the lower part is more than 20%. The thicker the alloy ingot is and the longer the cooling time is, the more serious the segregation will be.
Ferrosilicon products will pulverize. This is because ferrosilicon containing impurities such as phosphorus, aluminum and calcium will pulverize when stored in a humid atmosphere and emit toxic gases.
Deoxidizer and alloy conditioner used for steelmaking; inoculant used in casting.
ZhenAn Metallurgy also provides customers with products including: silicon carbide, inoculant, silicon slag, silicon-carbon alloy and other metallurgical materials. Consultation phone: +8615896822096
