Silicon Carbide

Silicon carbide, which consists of carbon and silicon, is used as a deoxidiser in steelmaking and as a modifier for cast iron. It has many excellent properties and is therefore used in a wide range of applications. It has excellent heat resistance and can withstand temperatures above 1600°C. It is used as a steelmaking deoxidiser and iron improver.

Silicon carbide is used as a refining agent in the steelmaking process. Its high-temperature reducing properties help to remove impurities and oxides from steel, improving its quality and purity. Silicon carbide can be used as metallurgical deoxidiser and high temperature resistant material in smelting.

Product Details

Silicon carbide can also be used as an abrasive, which can be used to make abrasives, such as grinding wheels, oil stones and grinding bits. Silicon carbide is a new type of enhanced steelmaking deoxidiser and an ideal thermal insulator. It is used for deoxidation.

Silicon carbide (SiC) has been identified as a potentially transformative composite deoxidiser, with the potential to supplant conventional silicon carbon powder in the deoxidation process. The superiority of silicon carbide (SiC) lies in its enhanced stability, improved deoxidation efficiency, and reduced processing time compared to traditional methods. Furthermore, the adoption of SiC yields numerous benefits, including early slag formation, heightened reducing atmosphere, energy efficiency, elevated steelmaking proficiency, reduced material consumption, diminished environmental impact, and enhanced working conditions. These advantages collectively enhance the overall economic viability of electric furnaces.

Product Advantages

Unique Characteristics of Silicon Carbide

Metallurgical silicon carbide is a compound made from the combination of silicon and carbon, which is extremely hard and wear-resistant. With a melting point of up to 2,600°C, it maintains its stability at extreme temperatures. In addition, the chemical stability of silicon carbide allows it to excel in a wide range of corrosive environments, where it effectively resists oxidation and chemical attack. These properties make metallurgical silicon carbide an ideal material choice for smelting and casting processes.

 

Important role in smelting

In the smelting process, metallurgical silicon carbide not only serves as a carbon enhancer to increase the carbon content of the metal, thereby improving its mechanical properties and wear resistance, but also effectively improves the fluidity of the charge and reduces casting defects. In addition, the conductive properties of silicon carbide make it excellent in high-temperature smelting equipment such as electric arc furnaces, helping to improve smelting efficiency and product quality.

 

Advantages in foundry applications

In the foundry industry, metallurgical silicon carbide is equally widely used. It can be used as an additive for casting sand to enhance the refractoriness and strength of casting sand and ensure the precision and surface quality of castings. At the same time, the excellent thermal conductivity of silicon carbide can effectively control the heat distribution in the casting process, reduce the risk of cracks caused by thermal stress, and ensure the integrity and reliability of castings.
