What are the uses of ferrosilicon powder, the use of 75 ferrosilicon powder

Ferrosilicon powder is a ferroalloy composed of iron and silicon, which is then ground into powder and used as a deoxidizer for steelmaking and ironmaking. Ferrosilicon powder has a wide range of uses, let's see what you know:

Application of ferrosilicon powder:

1. Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can effectively improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of steel. Therefore, when training structural steel, tool steel, spring steel, and silicon steel for transformers, ferrosilicon powder is also used as an alloying agent , 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 separation and spheroidization of graphite. Therefore, in the production of ductile iron, ferrosilicon powder is an important inoculant ( Help to separate 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;

4. 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 manufacture of low-carbon ferroalloys in the ferroalloy industry;

5. Other uses. Finely ground or atomized ferrosilicon powder can be used as a suspension phase in the mineral processing industry;

6. It can be used as a coating for welding rods in the welding rod manufacturing industry. High-silicon ferrosilicon powder can be used in the chemical industry to make products such as silicone.
