The difference between silicon carbon alloy and ferro silicon

HOME > News
 In terms of price: silicon-carbon alloy is a new type of ferroalloy product. Compared with ferrosilicon, the price is more favorable. When manufacturers purchase the same type of ferrosilicon, the cost of silicon-carbon alloy is usually cheaper than silicon carbon. , so in terms of cost, in the case of rising ferrosilicon prices, silicon-carbon alloys are the preferred choice for manufacturers to save costs.

In terms of element content: if the cost of silicon-carbon alloy and ferrosilicon is compared, because the price of silicon-carbon alloy is cheaper than that of ferrosilicon, the content will be slightly lower than that of ferrosilicon, but this range is very small. Small, can be used instead of ferrosilicon, usually considering the price advantage of silicon-carbon alloys, silicon-carbon alloys are a good choice.

In terms of use effect: generally speaking, silicon-carbon alloy can be used instead of ferrosilicon, but the effect is still slightly different in actual use. Compared with ferrosilicon, silicon-carbon alloy has slightly lower elements, so in deoxidation and slag removal There will be a slight gap in the effect, but usually it will not affect the actual use effect.

Silicon in silicon-carbon alloys has a graphitization effect, so it is generally combined with manganese in steel as a carbide stabilizer. Usually used as a common deoxidizer. The main function of silicon is that in electrical sheet steel, silicon improves the magnetic permeability and resistivity and allows very low hysteresis loss. The content of silicon in these steels ranges from 0.5 to 4.5%; silicon makes some high temperature resistant; Silicon combines with manganese to increase hardenability, strength and impact toughness. The main function of carbon is to increase the strength, hardness and hardenability of steel with the increase of carbon content in steel; but reduce the plasticity, toughness, magnetic properties and electrical conductivity. Carbon and some alloying elements in steel combine to form various carbides, which have different effects on the properties of steel.
