How Do 75 Ferro Silicon Lumps with Excellent Alloying Properties Improve Metal Performance?
Core Alloying Characteristics
- •
Controlled Silicon Release: Engineered particle structure ensures gradual Si diffusion into molten metal for uniform composition. - •
Matrix Synergy: Iron base supports even distribution of Si, preventing localized over-concentration. - •
Multi-functional Role: Besides alloying, they act as deoxidizers and graphitization promoters in cast irons.
Impact on Metal Properties
- •
Strength & Hardness: Added Si increases solid solution strengthening in steel, raising yield strength by up to 15%. - •
Electrical Conductivity: In electrical steels, Si boosts resistivity control, reducing eddy current losses. - •
Machinability: In cast iron, promotes Type A graphite, improving tool life and surface finish.
Application Examples
- •
Spring steels for automotive suspension systems - •
Transformer laminations requiring specific Si levels - •
Heavy-duty cast iron machine bases
