Ferro Silicon
Ferro Silicon offered comprises alloy of iron and silicon having average silicon content between 15 and 90 weight percent and contains a high proportion of iron silicides. It is produced through the reduction of silica/sand with coke in presence of mill scale, scrap iron and with a silicon content of about 15%, it finds usage in blast furnaces that are lined with acid fire bricks.
Features:
- Ferrosilicons having higher silicon content find suitability in electric arc furnaces
- Usual formulations these are made available in include with 15%, 45%, 75%, and 90% silicon
- Ferrosilicon finds usage as a source of silicon for reducing metals from their oxides
- Also finds usage for deoxidizing steel as well as other ferrous alloys
- Supports prevention of loss of carbon from molten steel
- Used for manufacturing of silicon, high-temperature resistant & corrosion-resistant ferrous silicon alloys as well as silicon steel for use in transformer and electromotor cores
- In manufacturing cast iron, ferrosilicon finds usage for inoculation of iron to accelerate graphitization
- It is also used in arc welding and in some electrode coatings
