Silicon ball introduction

Silicon ball is a metallurgical material that needs to be added in steelmaking. By adding an appropriate amount of silicon ball, the content of non-metallic inclusions in steel can be reduced, the distribution is suitable, and the shape is suitable, so as to ensure that the various properties of steel can reach the standard and the fine-grained structure can be obtained. In fact, silicon balls can not only improve the quality of steel, but also improve production efficiency, reduce the cost of production, and provide higher economic benefits for steel mills. The use of silicon balls:
In the steelmaking industry, silicon balls are mainly used as a deoxidizer and alloying agent. In order to obtain the chemical composition of qualified steel and ensure the quality of steel, in steelmaking must be deoxidized, the chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is very large, so the silicon ball is a strong deoxidizer for precipitation and diffusion in steelmaking. Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can significantly improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of steel. In addition, in the steelmaking industry, the silicon ball can release a lot of heat at high temperature, which is often used as a heating agent for the ingot cap to improve the quality and recovery of the ingot. Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can significantly improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of steel, improve the permeability of steel, and reduce the hysteresis loss of transformer steel. Silicon ball added to cast iron can be used as inoculant of nodular cast iron, and can prevent carbide formation, promote graphite precipitation and spheroidization, and improve the performance of cast iron.
