Metallurgical Product Description

High carbon silicon is an alloy of silicon and carbon, produced by smelting a mixture of silica, carbon, and iron in an electric furnace.

Product Parameters

Product Advantages

High carbon content: Typically, high carbon silicon contains 50% to 70% silicon and 10% to 25% carbon.

Good deoxidation and desulfurization performance: High carbon silicon can effectively remove oxygen, sulfur, and other impurities in molten steel and improve the quality of molten steel.

Good properties in the steelmaking process: High carbon silicon can improve the mechanical properties, strength, and hardness of steel.

Manufacture And Use

For powders and granules, high-carbon silicon products are usually packed in plastic or paper-sealed bags with sizes ranging from 25kg to 1 ton, depending on customer requirements. These bags can be further packed into larger bags or containers for transportation.

For lumps and lumps, high-carbon silicon products are usually packed in plastic or jute woven bags, ranging in size from 25 kg to 1 ton. These bags are usually stacked on pallets and wrapped in plastic film to ensure safe transportation.

Applications

High carbon silicon is mainly used as a deoxidizer and alloying agent in steel production. It can improve the machinability, strength, and wear resistance of steel and reduce the occurrence of surface defects. It is also used as a reducing agent in the production of metallic silicon and other metals.
