The Most Commonly Used Deoxidizer in Steelmaking

The most widely used deoxidizer for steelmaking industry include ferro silicon , silicon metal, ferro manganese, silicon barium and silicon slag. 

Ferro Silicon

The main constituent elements of ferrosilicon are iron and silicon, which are commonly used deoxidizers in steelmaking and casting. The chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is very large, which can effectively convert oxygen into silicon dioxide. Adding a certain amount of silicon can effectively improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of steel.

Silicon Metal

Metal silicon is also a commonly used steelmaking deoxidation material, which can effectively remove oxygen in molten steel, and reduce the reaction ability during smelting while deoxidizing, making deoxidation safer!

silicon manganese

Ferro Manganese

The main components of ferromanganese are manganese and iron. Ferromanganese is often used as a casting deoxidizer, desulfurizer and alloy additive. Using ferromanganese as a steelmaking material can effectively deoxidize and improve the hardness and durability of steel!

Silicon Carium

Silicon barium is a new type of multi-element alloy. Its advantage is that its content can be customized, and the silicon element inside it can also be customized to make deoxidation more!

silicon slag

Silicon Slog

Silicon slag is produced by smelting ferrosilicon and metal silicon. It still contains a certain amount of silicon inside. Silicon slag can be used as a deoxidizer for steelmaking, and can also be purified again to produce high silicon content. Ferroalloy products can effectively reduce steelmaking costs and improve manufacturer benefits and product quality!
