Silicon Carbide

Description:

Silicon Carbide is a cost effective alternative to using ferro silicon and carbon in steelmaking, producing cleaner steel and lower emission as it has lower levels of gas content and trace elements.

 

 

 

 

 

Production:

Specification:

SiC %	FC %	Fe2O3 %
≥ 99.00	≤ 0.20	≤ 0.20
≥ 98.50	≤ 0.40	≤ 0.40
≥ 97.50	≤ 0.60	≤ 0.60

 

Application:

SiC acts as a fuel in steelmaking producing additional energy allowing the furnace to process more scrap with the same charge of hot metal. Another application is to raise tap temperatures and adjust the content of silicon and carbon.
