Description:
High carbon silicon is an alloy of silicon and carbon which is produced by smelting a mixture of silica, carbon, and iron in an electric furnace.
High carbon silicon is primarily used as a deoxidizer and alloying agent in the production of steel. It can improve the machinability, strength, and wear resistance of the steel, as well as reduce the occurrence of surface defects. It is also used as a reducing agent in the production of silicon metal and other metals.
Features:
►High carbon content: Typically, high carbon silicon contains between 50% and 70% silicon and between 10% and 25% carbon.
►Good deoxidation and desulfurization properties: High carbon silicon is effective in removing impurities such as oxygen and sulfur from molten steel, improving its quality.
►Good performance in the steelmaking process: High carbon silicon can improve the mechanical properties, strength, and hardness of steel.

Packing:
♦For powder and granules, the high carbon silicon product is usually packed in sealed bags made of plastic or paper with different sizes ranging from 25 kg to 1 ton, depending on the customer's requirements. These bags may be further packed into larger bags or containers for shipping.
♦For briquettes and lumps, the high carbon silicon product is often packed in woven bags made of plastic or jute with different sizes ranging from 25 kg to 1 ton. These bags are often stacked on pallets and wrapped with plastic film for safe transportation.
