Slag Ball Briquette Ferrosilicon Briquette

Ferrosilicon briquette is made of ferrosilicon powder as raw material and is mechanically pressed. It has the characteristics of uniform size, low price and excellent performance, and is the best alternative to ferrosilicon in the steelmaking and foundry industries.

Ferrosilicon briquettes are made from materials containing silicon and iron. The price is much cheaper than ferrosilicon. The silicon and iron content of ferrosilicon briquettes can be adjusted according to the different requirements of customers.

Ferrosilicon briquettes Applications

1) efficient initiating of smelting process in steelwork furnaces;
2) convenient and less expensive substitute to standard Ferro Silicon;
3) suitability of mixing with different materials according to customers’ needs and requirements;
4) compression of pure material in capsular form, hence convenient in usage;
5) facility of transport due to the convenient size.

1) improve the homogeneity of the cast iron structure

2) eliminate the formation of carbides into thin parts or salient angles

3) direct the solidification towards the stable diagram, with graphite precipitation

4) refine the structure (higher cells count, finer grains in the microstructure)

5) improve mechanical properties

6) better separate slag and metal

7) decrease the tendency to dross formation

8) decrease tendency of micro-shrinkage

9) decrease risk of gas formation

10) decrease risk of mold / metal interface defects
