High Carbon Silicon Carbide 88% Purity 0-10mm Particle Size for Furnace Use with Exothermic Heat Release
- Boost Yield Efficiency: Achieve over 94% Silicon recovery and stable Carbon enrichment, reducing the need for expensive high-purity pig iron.
- Aggressive Oxygen Scavenging: Rapidly purges dissolved oxygen from the melt, eliminating gas-related casting rejections and pinholes.
- Exothermic Heat Release: Utilizes chemical energy to maintain bath temperature, significantly lowering electricity costs per heat.
- Versatile 0-10mm Grading: The broad particle distribution ensures immediate surface reaction and sustained deep-melt deoxidation.
- ZhenAn Direct Sourcing: Eliminate middleman costs with factory-direct supply, backed by full ISO/SGS chemical certification.
In modern furnace operations, the purity of the deoxidizer dictates the final toughness of the metal. ZhenAn's 0-10mm Silicon Carbide 88% is a high-density industrial material designed to condition the melt. Unlike standard ferrosilicon, SiC provides a unique carbon-silicon synergy that acts as a potent nucleating agent.
The chemical interaction within the induction furnace or cupola follows a high-velocity path: SiC + 3[O] → SiO₂ + CO↑
The CO gas generated by this reaction provides a "cleansing" effect, helping to lift microscopic non-metallic inclusions to the slag layer, which results in a significantly tougher and more machinable iron.
SiC 88% is a strategic "chill" reducer. By increasing the silicon activity in the local melt zones, it promotes a high density of eutectic cells. This effectively prevents the formation of hard iron carbides (cementite), ensuring the casting remains easy to machine even in thin sections.
The 0-10mm sizing is ideal for "sandwich" charging. By placing the material between layers of scrap metal, you ensure maximum contact time during the melting phase. This prevents the SiC from floating on the surface and ensures the highest possible recovery of alloying elements.
Aggressive iron oxides (FeO) in the slag are the primary cause of chemical erosion in furnace linings. Our SiC 88% granules aggressively "kill" the slag at the interface, protecting your refractory investment and lowering annual maintenance costs.
The following parameters detail the chemical and physical consistency of ZhenAn 0-10mm Metallurgical SiC 88, specifically processed for industrial foundry lines.
| Quality Index | Certified Value | Physical Profile | Performance Data |
|---|---|---|---|
| SiC Purity (Min) | 88.0% | Size Range | 0 - 10 mm (Customizable) |
| Fixed Carbon (C) | 25% - 28% | Appearance | Dark Metallic Grey |
| Free Silicon (Si) | ≤ 1.2% | Bulk Density | 1.55 g/cm³ |
