Silicon briquette replacing ferrosilicon to reduce half cost?
In today’s competition in the steel market.Cost control for steelmaking have become the goal that steel technicians strive to pursue.
According to the survey,most steel mills use ferrosilicon alloys to improve the temperature of molten steel in converter furnaces to meet the current requirements of high scrap ratio to reduce production costs,or use ferrosilicon alloys as deoxidizers or alloying agents for molten steel refining to meet the needs of steelmaking processes .
Ferrosilicon alloys are widely used in the steelmaking process, the application effect is good,the process requirements of some steel mills have a greater dependence on ferrosilicon alloys. However compared with silicon briquette for steelmaking,the price of ferrosilicon alloys is relatively high,and market price fluctuates greatly,with such a single option of ferrosilicon, it is bound to bring greater cost pressure to steel enterprises.Then silicon briquette is a very suitable choice to replace ferrosilicon.
| Si% | Al% | C% | S% | P% |
| 70% | 2% | 1-2% | 0.05% | 0.05% |
| 65% | 2% | 1-2% | 0.05% | 0.05% |
| 60% | 2% | 1-2% | 0.05% | 0.05% |
The choice of silicon briquette as a partial substitute for ferrosilicon has become the choice of many steel mills.The raw materials of silicon briquette come from metal silicon powder and ferrosilicon powder,and have the same level of silicon, aluminum, phosphorus, sulfur,and part of ferrosilicon,and accepable calcium, manganese, iron impurities, the effect is almost the same with ferrosilicon, but the price is less than half of the ferrosilicon alloy.
We have been producing silicon briquette for many years and have rich experience in quality control.Traders,steel mill partners are welcome to consult,we provide free samples for inspection and testing.
