Uses of metal silicon powder: The role of metal silicon powder in the casting industry

Uses of metal silicon powder: There are many types of metal silicon powder, and there are many functions, and it has different applications in different fields. Metal silicon powder is one of the main products. ZhenAn New Materials recommends and provides qualified metal silicon powder according to the needs of users. At the same time, it can also answer questions for users and provide more information about metal silicon powder based on its understanding of metal silicon powder.

In order to deepen everyone's understanding of metal silicon powder, this article will mainly focus on the deoxidation role of metal silicon powder in the casting industry.

Uses of metal silicon powder: In the production of the casting industry, adding an appropriate amount of metal silicon powder can play a certain deoxidation role. Metal silicon powder can replace ferrosilicon, effectively reduce production costs and improve the quality of castings. Metal silicon powder reacts with oxygen in the liquid slag phase or liquid metal, strongly releasing a large amount of combustion heat, because the SiO2 formed in this case escapes quickly, strengthening the kinetic conditions of the reaction, and this characteristic is very helpful for the deoxidation process. Both Si and C contained in SiC have the potential to be oxidized, and when the temperature is the same, the potential of the two is approximately the same, so SiC is not only a good deoxidizer for cold air cupolas, but also for hot air cupolas.

The deoxidation effect of SiC in induction furnaces is determined by the amount of scrap steel added and its quality, between 85% and more than 95%. For cupolas, its significance is relatively small, and the deoxidation effect can only be summarized. The smelting process (including cold air, the use of secondary air, oxygen enrichment, hot air, acidity, alkalinity, and no furnace lining) and the temporary changes in the melting process will have an important impact.

Uses of metal silicon powder: In fact, metal silicon powder can be used not only in the foundry industry, but also in other industries.
