DESCRIPTION
High carbon ferrosilicon is an alloy composed of iron, silicon, and carbon, with a carbon content typically ranging from 4-9%. It is produced by smelting a mixture of quartz, coke, and iron ore in an electric arc furnace.
The main application of high carbon ferrosilicon is in the production of cast iron, as it helps to increase the carbon content and improve the casting properties of the iron. It is also used as a deoxidizing agent in steelmaking, as well as in the production of other ferroalloys.
The addition of high carbon ferrosilicon to cast iron can improve its mechanical properties, including its strength, hardness, and wear resistance. It can also improve the machinability of the cast iron and reduce the tendency for it to crack during cooling.
In steelmaking, high carbon ferrosilicon is added to molten steel to remove impurities such as oxygen, sulfur, and phosphorus. This helps to improve the quality of the steel and increase its strength and durability.
Carbon content: 4-9%
Silicon content: 65-75%
Aluminum content: up to 2%
Calcium content: up to 2%
Iron content: up to 10%
Phosphorus content: up to 0.1%
Sulfur content: up to 0.1%
Particle size: typically 10-50mm, but can vary depending on customer requirements
