Low ferrosilicon is an important ferroalloy product with low silicon content, usually below 1.5%.
Low ferrosilicon is widely used in different industries and fields, and has many uses, mainly including the following aspects:
-
Steel production: Low ferrosilicon is an important raw material in steel production, used to adjust the silicon content in the smelting furnace. In the steelmaking process, adding low ferrosilicon to the smelting furnace can help reduce the silicon content in the molten steel, improve the purity and quality of the molten steel, and thus produce higher quality steel.
-
Ductile iron production: Low ferrosilicon is also one of the important raw materials in ductile iron production. Ductile iron is an important industrial material with high strength, high toughness, excellent wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in automobile manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, railways, and other fields. The addition of low ferrosilicon can improve the structure and performance of ductile iron, and improve its mechanical properties and wear resistance.
-
Casting: Low ferrosilicon is also used in the general casting industry as a raw material for casting iron parts. In some casting fields with special requirements, such as automotive parts, mechanical parts, engineering machinery, aerospace, and other fields, low ferrosilicon can help produce better quality castings and improve the performance and quality of products.
-
Silicon-chromium alloy production: Low ferrosilicon is also one of the raw materials for the production of silicon-chromium alloy. Silicon-chromium alloy is an important alloy product, mainly used in steel smelting, which can improve the hardness, strength, and wear resistance of steel. The addition of low ferrosilicon can help adjust the chromium content and produce silicon-chromium alloy products that meet different requirements.
-
Other fields: Low ferrosilicon can also be used in some special industries and fields, such as the chemical industry, electronic materials, etc. In the chemical industry, low ferrosilicon can be used as a reducing agent or auxiliary agent; in the field of electronic materials, low ferrosilicon can also be used as an additive to improve the performance and characteristics of materials.
In short, as an important ferroalloy product, low ferrosilicon has a wide range of uses and has important application value in steel production, casting, alloy production, and other fields. With the continuous development of various industries and the increase in demand, the use of low ferrosilicon will continue to expand and deepen.
