When it comes to alloy cored wire, it has many applications, including, steelmaking is its primary use among their uses. In the realm of industry, some of alloy cored wires are popular, such as calcium silicon cored wire, ferro calcium cored wire, carbon cored wire and so on.
JINLI GROUP is one of the biggest cored wire manufacturers, we can supply all kinds of cored wire mentioned above and introduce ferro silicon cored wire in this article subsequently.
Ferro silicon cored wire, as its name indicates, it is made of ferrosilicon alloy powder that crushed by ferrosilicon alloy. And wrapping with steel strip outside.
The Uses of Ferro Silicon Cored Wire
Frankly speaking, it is hardly different between ferrosilicon cored wire and ferrosilicon.
To begin with, ferrosilicon cored wire is a common deoxidizer in steelmaking. According to chemistry knowledge, we can clearly remember that chemical reaction between silicon and oxygen is exothermic reaction. It means it makes temperature of molten steel higher while deoxidizing.
Additionally, it can be also used as alloying agent in producing structural steel, spring steel and heat-resistant steel.
Last but not least, ferrosilicon is used in production of magnesium metal.
Merits of Ferro Silicon Cored Wire
Ferro silicon cored wire offers several merits:
It enables precise adjustment and control of easily oxidizable elements and trace elements. This adjustment capability significantly enhances alloy yield, reduces smelting costs and shortens smelting time.
It plays a pivotal role in purifying molten steel and altering the nature and morphology of inclusions. This action improves the quality of molten steel and enhances the casting process.
It promotes the production of purer steel and effectively reduces or eliminates nozzle clogging during continuous casting.
It reduces labor intensity, leading to improved workplace efficiency.
Ferro silicon cored wire comes in two types: internally drawn and external. Both types require simple, reliable and space-efficient wire feeding equipment.
