Silicon briquette 60 are a kind of metallurgical material that needs to be added when making steel. By adding an appropriate amount of silicon briquette 60, the content of non-metallic inclusions in the steel can be reduced, the distribution is appropriate, and the shape is appropriate, thereby ensuring that all properties of the steel can meet the standards and obtain Fine-grained structure. In fact, silicon briquette 60 can not only improve the quality of steel, but also improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and provide higher economic benefits for steel mills.

Uses of silicon briquette 60

In the steelmaking industry

Silicon briquette 60 are mainly used as a deoxidizer and alloying agent. In order to obtain steel with qualified chemical composition and ensure the quality of steel, deoxidation must be carried out during steelmaking. The chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen is very large, so silicon briquette 60 are a strong deoxidizer for steelmaking and are used for precipitation and diffusion deoxidation. Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can significantly improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of the steel..

In the foundry industry

Silicon briquette 60 can release a large amount of heat when burned at high temperatures. They are often used as heating agents in steel ingot caps to improve the quality and recovery rate of steel ingots. Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can significantly improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of the steel, increase the magnetic permeability of the steel, and reduce the hysteresis loss of transformer steel. Silicon briquette 60 added to cast iron can be used as inoculants for ductile iron, and can prevent the formation of carbides, promote the precipitation and spheroidization of graphite, and improve the performance of cast iron.

Advantages of silicon briquette 60

It is a good deoxygenating agent and an effective element for fixing nitrogen and carbon. Under certain special circumstances, it can be used to replace manganese in steel to reduce the generation of sulfides and avoid hot embrittlement of steel.

It is used for deoxidation in steelmaking, so that the content of Al2O3 inclusions in the steel is very low, which eliminates the impact of chain-shaped Al2O3 inclusions on the steel, avoids nozzle nodules, purifies the steel, and improves the quality and quality of the steel. service life.

As a new type of steelmaking deoxidizer, Al2O3 inclusions are significantly reduced, purifying the steel and improving the performance of the steel.

It can greatly reduce nozzle nodules during the pouring process and improve the continuous pouring rate and finished product rate.

It has good deoxidation effect, is easy to use and operate, and is pollution-free.

Trials were carried out on 100T, 150T, and 170T converters. Many types of steel are smelted, such as low carbon steel, heavy rail steel, etc., which meet the requirements for Als in steel. It has strong deoxidation ability, is easy to use and operate, has no nodules at the nozzle, and purifies steel. quality.
