Ferrosilicon Is An Essential Deoxidizer In The Steelmaking Industry
In torch steel, silicon iron is used for precipitation deoxidation and diffusion deoxidation. Brick cast iron is also used as an alloying agent in steelmaking. Adding a certain amount of silicon to steel can significantly improve its strength, hardness, and elasticity, increase its magnetic permeability, and reduce the hysteresis loss of transformer steel
