When it comes to silicon carbide, everyone thinks of the steel making and casting industry. It can be seen that silicon carbide holds a significant proportion in the steelmaking and casting industries. The silicon carbide used in the steelmaking industry in the general market is 30-50mm silicon carbide balls. With the development of the market, the specifications applied by different manufacturers are gradually increasing.
After multiple factory experiments, the advantages of silicon carbide can be summarized as follows!
1. The application of silicon carbide is through! After decades of experimentation, good results have been achieved in the steelmaking industry. Because it can prevent carbides, precipitation, increase ferrite content, reduce tendency, and improve mechanical properties.
2. In steelmaking enterprises, silicon carbide can better increase fluidity, stabilize the composition of molten iron, and prevent segregation. In addition, it can effectively reduce the sensitivity of wall thickness, make it dense, and the structure makes the cutting surface smooth and clean. At the same time, it enhances the nucleation ability of graphite and increases the graphite core. Gradually, it has been discovered that silicon carbide can reduce the amount of rusty waste and alloys, reduce the cost of molten iron, and also effectively deoxygenate and purify molten iron.
3. For casting products, the silicon carbide series products are still very suitable. Relatively speaking, it is a powerful deoxidizer for ductile iron, which can reduce the addition of nodularizing agents and improve the nodularization rate. Silicon carbide can eliminate the oxidation factor of molten iron, reduce furnace wall oxidation, and extend the service life of furnace walls by 30%.
