Ferroalloy products contain a certain amount of silicon elements, silicon elements for steelmaking has an important role, in steelmaking need to deoxygenate the molten steel, silicon elements and oxygen have a good affinity easy to produce silicon dioxide can achieve the purpose of deoxidation, common ferroalloy products containing silicon elements for ferrosilicon, silicon metal, barium silicon, silicon carbon alloys, silicon carbide and other silicon-containing a lot, good deoxidation effect of products, Anyang Yucheng Xin Ferroalloy Co., Ltd. briefly introduce the impact of ferroalloy silicon elements on the performance of steelmaking?

In the steelmaking process, silicon element is added as a reducing agent and deoxidizer, so the steel contains 0.15% ~ 0.30% of the silicon element, if the amount of silicon element in the steel exceeds 50% ~ 0.60%, the silicon element is even if the ferroalloy element, the silicon element can be good to improve the elasticity of the steel, yield point and tensile strength, so it is widely used as spring steel.

In the quenched and tempered structural steel to add 1.0% ~ 1.2% of the silicon element, the strength can be increased by 15% ~ 20%, silicon element and molybdenum, tungsten, chromium, etc., have the use of improving corrosion resistance, can be made of heat-resistant steel, containing silicon element 1% ~ 4% of the low carbon steel, with a very high permeability, used in the electrical industry to do silicon steel sheet, the amount of silicon increased, will reduce the welding performance of steel.

The above is a little advice from our company, I hope to help you!
