1-3mm High Carbon Silicon Carbide Granules SiC 88 for Efficient Steel Deoxidizer in Metallurgical Applications

• Maximize Cost-Efficiency: Achieve superior deoxidation results at a significantly lower price point than SiC 90 or high-grade Ferrosilicon.
• Optimal Carbon Recovery: High carbon content (approx. 20-25% total C) ensures stable recarburization without the need for additional expensive calcined coke.
• Rapid Melt Dissolution: The 1-3mm fine granular sizing is engineered for instant reaction in induction furnaces and ladle metallurgy.
• Clean Steel Technology: Effectively reduces FeO and MnO in slag, minimizing refractory erosion and non-metallic inclusions in the final melt.
• ZhenAn Supply Chain Stability: Large-scale 88% SiC inventory with guaranteed SGS certification and rapid global logistics for high-volume consumers.

Metallurgical grade Silicon Carbide with 88% purity is the "workhorse" of the steel and foundry industry. While SiC 90 is used for ultra-high purity applications, SiC 88 offers the perfect balance of performance and economy for standard carbon steel and gray iron production.

The deoxidation process using SiC 88 is highly exothermic, providing "chemical heat" to the furnace. This helps maintain the molten steel temperature during alloy additions, reducing the electricity consumption of the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF).

The 1-3mm size is ideal for ladle furnace (LF) additions. Because of its high density compared to slag, it penetrates the slag-metal interface quickly, ensuring that the Silicon and Carbon are absorbed by the metal rather than burning off on the surface.

In the casting industry, SiC 88 acts as a potent nucleating agent. It promotes the formation of graphite flakes and nodules, significantly reducing the "chill" (hard spots) in thin-walled castings.

By adding SiC 88 to the slag, operators can "kill" the slag, reducing its oxygen potential. This leads to better recovery of other alloying elements like Manganese and Chromium, which would otherwise be lost to oxidation.

The following specifications represent the standard quality control parameters for ZhenAn Silicon Carbide 88% granules.

• Reduced Flux Usage: The high reactivity of SiC 88 reduces the volume of fluorspar or other fluxes needed to manage slag fluidity.
• Lower Sulfur Input: Unlike some grades of petroleum coke, our SiC 88 is ultra-low in sulfur, making it ideal for high-quality low-sulfur steel grades.
• Custom Sizing: While 1-3mm is our standard for deoxidation, we offer custom crushing and screening to match your specific furnace charging system.
