The advantages of ferrosilicon balls compared with ferrosilicon products

In fact, there are many kinds of ferrosilicon products composed of iron and silicon, such as ferrosilicon balls, ferrosilicon particles, ferrosilicon powder, ferrosilicon blocks and so on. These can be quickly distinguished by their appearance. However, according to the content of each element in ferrosilicon, it can also be divided into different grades. However, no matter what kind of ferrosilicon product it is, it is made from coke, steel scrap, quartz (or silica) and smelted in an electric furnace.

 

Ferrosilicon products can not only be divided into different types, at the same time, there are many uses of ferrosilicon, and they play different roles in different application fields. For example, ferrosilicon is often used as a deoxidizer in steelmaking, and since a large amount of heat is released when SiO2 is formed, it is also beneficial to increase the temperature of molten steel while deoxidizing. At the same time, ferrosilicon can also be used as an alloying element additive, which is widely used in low-alloy structural steel, spring steel, bearing steel, heat-resistant steel and electrical silicon steel. Ferrosilicon is often used as a reducing agent in ferroalloy production and chemical industry.

As one of many ferrosilicon products, ferrosilicon balls have a uniform particle size compared with other types of ferrosilicon products, which reduces the loss, labor, electricity and transportation of natural ferrosilicon blocks used in steelmaking. Uniform particle size, accurate feeding, good deoxidation effect, shortens deoxidation time, saves energy, improves steelmaking efficiency, improves quality, reduces consumption of raw and auxiliary materials, high recovery rate, and reduces labor intensity. The melting speed is fast, the division is uniform, and the power consumption is reduced.
