DESCRIPTION
Ferrosilicon can be produced in various forms, including blocks, powders, and granules. Ferrosilicon blocks are a common form used in the steelmaking industry.
Ferrosilicon blocks typically have a rectangular shape with dimensions ranging from a few centimeters to over a meter in length, depending on the intended application. They are usually produced in large quantities and transported to steel mills and foundries for use in the production of steel and cast iron.
Ferrosilicon blocks are added to molten steel during the steelmaking process to deoxidize the steel and improve its mechanical properties. The blocks are typically added to the steel ladle before it is poured into molds for casting.
The size and composition of ferrosilicon blocks can vary depending on the specific application. Blocks with higher silicon content are generally used for the production of high-strength steel, while blocks with lower silicon content are used for the production of cast iron. Other elements such as calcium and aluminum can also be added to ferrosilicon blocks to tailor their properties for specific applications.
