Common grades of ferrosilicon and their functions in different applications 1. Silicon iron content is generally 75%, with low carbon, phosphorus, and sulfur content, 2. Ferrosilicon 72, typically contains 72% silicon iron, carbon, sulfur, and phosphorus. The role of ferrosilicon in steelmaking: Used as a deoxidizer and alloying agent in the steelmaking industry. In order to obtain steel with qualified chemical composition and steel quality, deoxidation must be carried out in the post steelmaking stage. Silicon and oxygen have a strong chemical affinity, so ferrosilicon is a strong deoxidizer in steelmaking, used for precipitation and diffusion deoxidation. The role of ferrosilicon in cast iron: Used as an inoculant and spheroidizer in the cast iron industry. Cast iron is an important metallic material in modern industry. It is cheaper than steel and easier to melt and smelt. It has excellent casting performance and much better vibration ability than steel. Adding a certain amount of…
