DESCRIPTION
High carbon silicon is an alloy composed of silicon, carbon, and small amounts of other elements such as aluminum, calcium, and iron. It typically contains a carbon content ranging from 4-6%.
High carbon silicon is produced by smelting a mixture of silica, coke, and iron scrap in an electric arc furnace. The process involves the reduction of silica to silicon, which then reacts with carbon to form high carbon silicon.
The main application of high carbon silicon is in the production of special steels and alloys, such as spring steels, tool steels, and stainless steels. It is also used in the production of cast iron and ductile iron.
The addition of high carbon silicon to steel can improve its strength, hardness, and wear resistance. It can also increase its resistance to heat, corrosion, and oxidation. In the production of cast iron, high carbon silicon can improve the casting properties of the iron, such as fluidity and solidification behavior.
- Carbon content: 5-30%
- Silicon content: 70-95%
- Aluminum content: up to 2%
- Iron content: up to 2%
- Particle size: typically 0-10mm, but can vary depending on the intended application.
