The Use Of Ferrosilicon Powder

1. Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of steel, so in the smelting of structural steel, tool steel, spring steel, and transformer silicon steel, ferrosilicon powder is also used as alloying agent.

2. Adding a certain amount of ferrosilicon powder and metallurgical materials to cast iron can prevent the formation of carbide in iron and promote the precipitation and spheroidization of graphite, so in the production of nodular cast iron, ferrosilicon powder is an important inoculant (help precipitate graphite) and Henan spheroidization agent.

3. Used as reducing agent in ferroalloy production. The chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is very large, and the carbon content of high silicon ferrosilicon powder is very low. Therefore, high-silicon ferrosilicon powder (or siliceous alloy) is a kind of reducing agent commonly used in the production of low carbon ferroalloys in the ferroalloy industry.

5. For other purposes, ferrosilicon manufacturers have learned that fine or atomized ferrosilicon powder can be used as a suspended phase in the mineral processing industry.

6. Coating used as electrode in electrode manufacturing industry. High silicon ferrosilicon powder can be used in the chemical industry to make silicone and other products.
