What is the difference between ferrosilicon and ferrosilicon particles:
Ferrosilicon is an iron alloy composed of iron and silicon. Ferrosilicon is an iron-silicon alloy made from coke, steel scraps, quartz (or silica) as raw materials and smelted in an electric furnace; ferrosilicon is broken into small pieces of a certain proportion and passed through a certain Ferrosilicon particles are formed by filtering through a mesh sieve. In simple terms, ferrosilicon particles are small particles that are crushed and screened out from natural blocks and standard blocks of ferrosilicon according to various particle sizes. They are currently on the market as the incubation of foundries. Agents are used more often.
Uses of ferrosilicon:
1. Ferrosilicon is a deoxidizer in the steelmaking industry. In steelmaking, ferrosilicon is used for precipitation deoxidation and diffusion deoxidation. Brick iron is also used as an alloying agent in steelmaking;
2. Used as inoculant and spheroidizing agent in the cast iron industry. In the production of ductile iron, 75 ferrosilicon is an important inoculant (helping to precipitate graphite) and spheroidizing agent;
3. Used as reducing agent in ferroalloy production. Not only is the chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen very high, but the carbon content of high-silicon ferrosilicon is very low. Therefore, high-silicon ferrosilicon (or silicon alloy) is a commonly used reducing agent in the ferroalloy industry when producing low-carbon ferroalloys.
The role of ferrosilicon particles:
Ferrosilicon granules can be used not only in the steelmaking industry but also as a commonly used metallurgical material in the cast iron industry. This is mainly because ferrosilicon granules can be used by cast iron manufacturers to replace inoculants and nodulizing agents. In the cast iron industry, the price of ferrosilicon granules is far away. Lower than steel and easier to melt, it is a ferroalloy product with good casting ability. A good ferrosilicon particle inoculant has uniform particle size and good inoculation effect during casting. It can promote the precipitation and spheroidization of graphite and is a metallurgical material for the production of ductile iron.
