Low Aluminum Ferro Silicon
Low aluminum ferro silicon is a special kind of ferro silicon. The production of low aluminum ferro silicon is made by using natural silica as raw material, metallurgical coke as reducing agent and adding a certain amount of iron-bearing material in ore-heat electric furnace. It used to avoid the formation of hard Al2O3 and Al2O3-CaO inclusions in a range of steel types.
Properties of Low Aluminum Ferro Silicon
Now the production of low-aluminum ferro silicon with iron containing materials are carbon steel scraps, and the amount of its addition is less than silica and coke, and moreover the granular size of steel chips is difficult to ensure, so it is inevitable to cause the uneven distribution of steel chips in the furnace, causing the furnace resistance value uneven distribution and frequent fluctuations. It is difficult to stabilize the electrode and alloy composition of the same.
Difference Between Low Aluminum Ferro Silicon And Ferro Silicon
The raw materials of ferro silicon differ significantly between low aluminum ferro silicon and ordinary ferro silicon. Low aluminum ferro silicon requires a lower aluminum content, which means that the silica, coke, and steel scrap used must also meet low aluminum specifications. Typically, low aluminum ferro silicon refers to ferro silicon with aluminum content below 1.0%, 0.5%, or even 0.1%.
Application Of Low Aluminum Ferro Silicon
- In the steelmaking industry, ferro silicon is commonly used as a deoxidizer and an alloying agent.
- In the cast iron industry, ferro silicon inoculants are widely used to promote the quantity of eutectic globules and improve the quality of graphite castings.
