Application of ferrosilicon powder:
1. Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can effectively improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of steel. Therefore, ferrosilicon powder is also used as an alloying agent when smelting structural steel, tool steel, spring steel, and silicon steel for transformers. use. Used as an inoculant and nodulizer in the cast iron industry.
2. Adding a certain amount of ferrosilicon powder and metallurgical materials to cast iron can prevent the formation of carbides in iron and promote the precipitation and spheroidization of graphite. Therefore, in the production of ductile iron, ferrosilicon powder is an important inoculant (helping Precipitate graphite) and nodulizer.
3. Used as a reducing agent in the production of ferroalloys. Not only the chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is very high, but also the carbon content of high silicon ferrosilicon powder is very low. Therefore, high-silicon ferrosilicon powder (or silicon alloy) is a reducing agent commonly used in the production of low-carbon ferroalloys in the ferroalloy industry.

5. Use in other aspects. Finely ground or atomized ferrosilicon powder can be used as a suspension phase in the mineral processing industry.
6. In the welding rod manufacturing industry, it can be used as coating for welding rods. High-silicon ferrosilicon powder can be used in the chemical industry to make products such as silicone.
