High Carbon Silicon, also known as Silicon Recarb, is an alloy containing silicon and carbon. Silicon carbon alloy is also another name for it. It plays a special role in the production of steel from scrap steel. At present, this product is a hot product to users in many countries and regions, such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
Its main elements are silicon and carbon. The silicon element has high activity, fast reaction, and deoxidation effect. At the same time, the Si element in High carbon silicon can also increase the furnace temperature. Therefore, high carbon silicon can replace higher-price ferrosilicon, silicon carbide. It also replaces other products in converter and open-hearth steelmaking.
The specific advantages of high carbon silicon include: carbon and silicon are important elements that determine the function of steel. High Carbon Silicon (Silicon Recarb) can not only react with oxygen in molten steel to have a deoxidizing effect. But also the remaining carbon and silicon will dissolve in the steel. It has the effect of increasing silicon and carburizing in liquid steel. Adding a certain amount of Silicon Recarb to steel can significantly improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of the steel.
Steelmaking requires deoxidation, and the chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is very high. So, ferrosilicon is a strong deoxidizer for steelmaking. Ferro silicon is a conventional product for precipitation and diffusion deoxidation. In comparison, high carbon silicon can deoxidize and increase furnace temperature at the same time. It killing two birds with one stone.
High carbon silicon alloy is a new type of alloy. It can replace ferrosilicon, silicon carbide, and carburizers, reduce the amount of deoxidizer. It plays a good role in the deoxidation alloying process of converter smelting. The effect is stable, and the chemical composition, mechanical properties and The quality of internal control is better than that of traditional processes. As a new type of strong composite deoxidizer, it is also useful for tempering general steel, alloy steel and special steel.
In general, high carbon silicon is a new type of strong composite deoxidizer. It can be used for the smelting of general steel, ordinary carbon steel, and the tempering of special steel. It can also be used as a heating agent to replace traditional heating agents, thereby reducing steelmaking costs and improving steelmaking efficiency.
