What is Ferro Silicon and Why Do We Use Them?

Dynamic Image Analysis with the CAMSIZER P4

CHIDA supply professional and honest service.

The CAMSIZER P4 dynamic image analyzer determines particle size and shape in a range from 20 μm to 30 mm and is therefore ideally suited for the routine analysis of ferrosilicon. The particles under investigation are conveyed by a vibratory chute into the measurement zone where they are passing a planar light source in free fall. The resulting shadow projections are captured by a camera system and evaluated in real time. The CAMSIZER P4 features the unique Dual-Camera Technology. One camera (ZOOM) detects fine particles with great accuracy and a second camera (BASIC) with lower magnification, but larger field of view detects large particle simultaneously. This is an invaluable advantage because the CAMSIZER P4 can analyze all particles within one sample without any hardware adjustments and without losing accuracy for either very large or very fine particles. Thanks to the two cameras, ideal measurement conditions can be established for the entire size range, the analysis is therefore extremely convenient and accurate.

The huge advantage of this arrangement is the vast amount of sample that can be processed in a very short analysis time of only a few minutes. The CAMSIZER P4 is maintenance-free and therefore offers a faster and more reliable alternative to traditional sieve analysis. Thanks to its robust design, the CAMSIZER P4 unsusceptible to vibration and dust. The instrument can therefore operate in an industrial plant as well as in a laboratory environment.

Ferrosilicon is an alloy of iron and silicon.Ferrosilicon is coke, steel chips, quartz (or silica) as raw materials, smelted by electric furnace made of iron silicon alloy.Common uses of ferrosilicon are as follows:

(1) ferrosilicon is an essential deoxidizer in steelmaking industry.In steelmaking, ferrosilicate is used for precipitation deoxidation and diffusion deoxidation.Brick iron is also used as an alloying agent in steelmaking.

(2) Used as inoculant and spheroidizer in cast iron industry.In the production of ductile iron, ferrosilicon is an important inoculant (to help precipitate graphite) and spheroidizer.

(3) used as reducing agent in ferroalloy production.Not only is the chemical affinity between silicon and oxygen great, but the carbon content of high silicon ferrosilicon is very low.Therefore, high silicon ferrosilicon (or siliceous alloy) is a commonly used reducing agent in the production of low carbon ferroalloy in the ferroalloy industry.

(4)75 ferrosilicate in Pijiang magnesium smelting is often used in the high temperature smelting process of magnesium, the magnesium replacement in CaO.MgO, each one ton of magnesium will consume about 1.2 tons of ferrosilicate, which plays a great role in the production of magnesium.

Henan star since its establishment is committed to the research of new metallurgical materials, new technology, new technology and new products, my company's production of ferrosilicate, complete products, excellent quality, price stability, welcome you to come to buy!
