What problem did the East Asia steel mill face before using silicon carbon alloy?

The mill used separate additions of ferrosilicon and recarburizer, leading to inconsistent carbon/silicon recovery, longer furnace time, off‑grade chemistry, higher energy use, and rising combined alloy costs.

What is the composition of Bright Alloys' silicon carbon alloy?

The supplied alloy contains 65.85% Silicon (Si), 17.12% Carbon (C), and 1.15% Aluminium (Al). Particle size is 10‑60mm with 92% minimum. The composition is verified by SGS certificate.

What results did the steel mill achieve after switching?

The mill achieved 50% lower alloy cost per ton of steel, 35% shorter addition time, zero off‑grade heats since the switch, and a 12% reduction in energy consumption per melt.

Is the silicon carbon alloy SGS certified?

Yes, every batch is tested and certified by SGS. The certificate for this case confirms Si 65.85%, C 17.12%, and Al 1.15%.

Customer Approval & Reorder

After first trial, the mill reported stable carbon & silicon recovery, no off‑grade heats, and 50% lower alloy cost. They switched entirely to our silicon carbon alloy and placed a repeat order.

“We eliminated two additions – now one alloy does the job. Chemistry is consistent, and our energy bill dropped.” – Steel Plant Metallurgist
