An important additive
to cast irons for controlling the initial content of
silicon and
in coming in contact with water, it may slowly produce
hydrogen |
• |
Steel making and foundries as a source of
silicon in production of carbon steels, stainless steels,
and other Ferro alloys for its deoxidizing properties. |
• |
Used in manufacturing silicon steel for electro-motors
and transformer cores. |
• |
It is used for inoculation of the iron. |
• |
To prevent loss of carbon from the molten
steel. |
• |
In arc welding, Ferro silicon can be found
in some electrode coatings |
