Properties and Applicationof Silicon Carbide Deoxidizer

Silicon carbide deoxidizer are high-quality steel-making agents obtained by using low-grade silicon carbide as raw material and processed into briquettes. Low consumption, good billet quality, and lower deoxidation cost than ferrosilicon, so iron and steel enterprises in developed countries in the world gradually use low-grade silicon carbide pellets instead of ferrosilicon for deoxidation and have received good economic benefits.

Silicon Carbide Properties
Silicon carbide are wear-resistant, non-polluting, improve the stability of raw materials, reduce the thickness of the mill and the volume of the ball, and increase the effective volume of the mill by 15%-30%.

Applicaion of Silicon Carbide
Mainly used in electric furnaces and cupolas as a deoxidizer; silicon carbide used in foundry and steelmaking industries (special steel, stainless steel, T iron, G iron, K iron and other factories can be used), to increase the temperature in the furnace , shorten melting time, increase steel output, play the role of carburization, deoxidation, silicon addition, temperature rise, etc., and can also be used as a substitute for ferrosilicon. In addition, no dust pollution will be generated in the furnace, the reaction speed is fast, and the cost is reduced. It is a new method in the steelmaking process.

(1) Useful metal oxides are reduced to metals and absorbed in steel, reducing the loss of molten steel and increasing production. 
(2) The reaction heat energy generated when the silicon carbide element is oxidized can reduce the amount of electricity used and shorten the operation time. the
(3) In the process of producing manganese steel and chromium steel, the loss of manganese and chromium can be reduced.
