uses of ferro silicon powder

An ferro alloy composed of ferro and silicon, which is then ground into a powdery substance, which is used as a deoxidizer for steelmaking and steelmaking. 

Uses of ferro silicon powder:

 1. Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can significantly improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of steel. Therefore, when smelting structural steel, tool steel, spring steel, and silicon steel for transformers, ferrosilicon is also used as an alloying agent .Used as inoculant and spheroidizing agent in the cast iron industry. 

 2.Adding a certain amount of ferrosilicon to cast iron can prevent the formation of carbides in the iron and promote the precipitation and spheroidization of graphite. Therefore, in the production of nodular cast iron, ferrosilicon is an important inoculant (helping to precipitate graphite) and nodular.

 3. Used as a reducing agent in the production of ferroalloys. Not only the chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is great, but also the carbon content of high-silicon ferrosilicon is very low. Therefore, high-silicon ferrosilicon (or silicon alloy) is a commonly used reducing agent in the production of low-carbon iron alloys in the ferroalloy industry. 

 4. Not only the chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is great, but the carbon content of high silicon ferrosilicon is very low. Therefore, high-silicon ferrosilicon (or silicon alloy) is a commonly used reducing agent in the production of low-carbon iron alloys in the ferro alloy industry. 　　　 

 5. For other purposes. The ground or atomized ferro silicon powder can be used as the suspended phase in the mineral processing industry. 　　

 6. It can be used as a coating for welding rods in welding rod manufacturing. High-silicon ferro silicon can be used to manufacture silicone and other products in the chemical industry.
