DESCRIPTION
High carbon silicon (HCSi) is an alloy of silicon and carbon with carbon content typically ranging from 4% to 5.5%. HCSi is commonly used as a deoxidizer and inoculant in steelmaking and foundry applications.
HCSi is a powerful deoxidizer and inoculant that is commonly used in the steelmaking and foundry industries. Its high carbon content helps to remove impurities such as oxygen and sulfur from molten metal, improving the quality and consistency of the final product. HCSi also promotes nucleation and grain refinement, resulting in finer and more uniform microstructures.
