Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can significantly improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of the steel. Therefore, it is widely used in smelting structural steel (containing 0.40-1.75% silicon), tool steel (containing SiO.30-1.8%), and spring steel. (Containing SiO.40-2.8%) and silicon steel for transformers (containing 2.81-4.8% silicon), ferrosilicon is also used as an alloying agent. At the same time, improving the shape of inclusions and reducing the content of gas elements in molten steel is an effective new technology to improve steel quality, reduce costs, and save iron. It is especially suitable for the deoxidation requirements of continuous casting molten steel. Practice has proved that ferrosilicon not only meets the deoxidation requirements of steelmaking, but also has desulfurization performance and has the advantages of large specific gravity and strong penetrating power.
In torch steel, ferrosilicon is used for precipitation deoxidation and diffusion deoxidation. Brick iron is also used as an alloying agent in steelmaking. Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can significantly improve the strength, hardness and elasticity of the steel, increase the magnetic permeability of the steel, and reduce the hysteresis loss of transformer steel. General steel contains 0.15%-0.35% silicon, structural steel contains 0.40%-1.75% silicon, tool steel contains 0.30%-1.80% silicon, spring steel contains 0.40%-2.80% silicon, and stainless acid-resistant steel contains Silicon 3.40% ~ 4.00%, heat-resistant steel contains silicon 1.00% ~ 3.00%, silicon steel contains silicon 2% ~ 3% or higher.
