Ferro Silicon for Silicon Steel
Silicon steel is an essential raw material in the production of electrical equipment such as motors and transformers. It optimizes magnetic permeability and resistivity by adding ferro silicon during silicon steel production, ensuring high performance in various aspects. Ferro silicon is an alloy made up of silicon and iron, widely used in the silicon steel manufacturing process as a critical additive. Ferro silicon for silicon steel has strict chemical composition requirements. Typically, before production, staff will sample and test the chemical elements in ferro silicon to ensure that the properties of the silicon steel meet production standards.
Requirements for Ferro Silicon for Silicon Steel
The ferro silicon used for silicon steel has strict content specifications, as silicon steel typically contains 2% to 3% silicon or even higher. Therefore, ferro silicon 75 (Si≥75%) must be used to provide sufficient silicon for silicon steel.
A high amount of impurities can affect the magnetic permeability of silicon steel. Thus, ferro silicon used for producing silicon steel should maintain low impurity levels. High purity ferro silicon is the best choice for producing silicon steel; it effectively reduces the introduction of impurity elements and improves the morphology of inclusions in silicon steel, allowing them to float on the molten steel’s surface, making them easier to handle while further enhancing the purity and quality of silicon steel.
Role of Ferro Silicon for Silicon Steel
- Increases the strength of silicon steel
- Enhances magnetic permeability and resistivity
- Improves processing performance and corrosion resistance
- Extends the service life of silicon steel by enhancing durability
- Reduces impurities in silicon steel, increasing its purity
- Adjusts element specifications in silicon steel to meet performance requirements
- Enhances structural stability and mechanical strength of silicon steel
