DESCRIPTION
Ferrosilicon 65 is a type of Ferrosilicon alloy with a silicon content of approximately 65%. It is commonly used as a deoxidizer and an alloying agent in the production of steel and cast iron.
The addition of Ferrosilicon 65 to steel and iron alloys can improve their mechanical properties, such as hardness, tensile strength, and wear resistance. It can also help to reduce the formation of undesirable impurities, such as sulfur and phosphorus, which can weaken the quality of the final product.
Ferrosilicon 65 is produced by smelting a mixture of iron and silicon in an electric arc furnace. The process involves the reduction of quartz or sand with coke or coal in the presence of iron, which produces Ferrosilicon with the desired silicon content.
Ferrosilicon 65 is available in various sizes and shapes, such as powders, granules, and lumps. The size and shape of the Ferrosilicon can affect its performance and handling characteristics, so it is important to select the appropriate grade for the intended application.
