 What is a silicon-carbon alloy?

silicon-carbon alloy is a new type of alloy for converter, which can replace ferric silicon, silicon carbide and carbonizing agent, reduce the amount of deoxidizing agent, and be used in converter smelting deoxidizing alloying process.

USES of silicon carbon alloy:

1. Silicon carbon alloy is a good substitute for ferrosilicon in iron and steel production, with the advantages of reducing production cost and resource reuse.

2. Silicon carbon alloy is a kind of silicon briquette with broad market prospect.

3. Silicon carbon alloy is used as deoxidizer in steelmaking to reduce oxygen content in melt through reaction.

4. Silicon carbon alloy can be processed into balls, powder or particles according to customers' requirements.

5. Silicon carbon alloy has high density, high purity and no pollution to molten steel.

6. The silicon carbon alloy can maintain a high and stable recovery and stable performance.

7. Silicon carbon alloy can reduce the use of alloy, thus reducing the cost of steelmaking and improving economic benefits.

8. Silicon carbon alloy can improve the quality of molten steel and improve the quality and performance of steel.

Advantages of silicon carbon alloy:

1. Advantages of deoxidation of silicon carbon alloy

Silicon is contained in the silicon carbon alloy. When the silicon carbon alloy is added in the steelmaking process, the affinity reaction between the silicon element and oxygen makes the oxygen deoxidization in the steel to improve the hardness and quality of the steel. In addition, the silicon element in the silicon carbon alloy has a good affinity with oxygen, so the steel will not splash.

2. Slag collection advantages of silicon carbon alloy

The silicon-carbon alloy also has the advantage of slag collection. When a certain proportion of silicon-carbon alloy is put into the molten steel, the oxide in the steelmaking process can be rapidly agglomerated, which is easy to be filtered, making the molten steel more pure and greatly improving the density and hardness of the steel.

3. Advantages of increasing furnace temperature of silicon carbon alloy

Silicon carbon alloy is a good temperature resistant material. In the process of steelmaking, adding silicon carbon alloy can improve the furnace temperature, improve the conversion rate of ferroalloy, and accelerate the reaction speed between molten steel and elements.

Silicon-carbon alloys allow many manufacturers to save costs

In today's iron alloy material is more expensive, silicon carbide alloy as a new type of metallurgical material because of its low price than traditional metallurgical materials, so get the favour of many manufacturers, silicon carbon alloy can replace expensive metallurgy material such as silicon, and achieve unexpected satisfied effect, so using silicon carbide alloy can save costs and improve profits;

Normal size of silicon carbon alloy: natural block, 10-100mm, 10-50mm or according to customer's requirements;
