High Purity 90% Silicon Carbide 1-3mm Granules for Steelmaking Deoxidizer and Secondary Metallurgy
- Ultra-Clean Steel Production: Reach rigorous oxygen-reduction targets for specialty alloys and automotive-grade steels with 90% purity.
- Rapid Dissolution Sizing: The 1-3mm precision granules ensure a high surface area for immediate reaction during ladle furnace (LF) processing.
- Superior Recovery Rates: Achieve over 94% Silicon and 90% Carbon yield, reducing the reliance on high-cost ferrosilicon and synthetic graphite.
- Refractory Longevity: Actively conditions the slag to reduce its chemical aggressiveness, shielding your furnace and ladle linings from erosion.
- ZhenAn Global Logistics: Benefit from a Tier-1 industrial supply chain with ISO-certified consistency and dedicated maritime support for bulk orders.
In precision steelmaking, the chemical potential of your deoxidizer dictates the final toughness and fatigue resistance of the metal. ZhenAn's 1-3mm SiC 90% is a high-density metallurgical tool that performs under the most demanding ladle conditions.
The dissociation of SiC in the molten bath is a critical exothermic event: SiC + 3[O] → SiO₂ + CO↑
This reaction not only strips the melt of oxygen but also releases thermal energy, assisting in maintaining the liquidus temperature without additional electrode power.
The 1-3mm grain size is engineered for gravity-fed or pneumatic injection systems. Its uniform flowability ensures that the calculated dose of Carbon and Silicon reaches the melt precisely when needed, ensuring "on-spec" chemistry for every heat.
High-purity SiC 90% facilitates the formation of liquid, easy-to-float silicates. By managing the oxygen potential effectively, it prevents the development of hard, angular alumina inclusions that can lead to nozzle clogging during continuous casting.
Our 90% SiC granules reduce the FeO content in the slag, creating a more stable "reducing" slag. This environment protects expensive subsequent alloy additions (like Chromium and Vanadium) from oxidation, significantly lowering the "cost per ton" of the final alloy.
The following table outlines the premium quality parameters of ZhenAn 1-3mm SiC 90%, designed for high-performance metallurgy.
| Quality Index | Standard Value | Physical Profile | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| SiC Purity (Min) | 90.0% | Grain Size Range | 1.0mm - 3.0mm |
| Free Carbon (C) | ≤ 2.2% | Surface Condition | Angular / Crystalline |
| Aluminum (Al) | ≤ 0.6% | Tap Density | 1.52 - 1.58 g/cm³ |
| Total Carbon (C) | 26% - 28% | Melting Point | 2,730°C (Dissociation) |
| Nitrogen (N) | ≤ 0.012% | Packaging | 1mt UV-Resistant Big Bags |
- Minimal Impurities: With ultra-low sulfur and nitrogen, our SiC 90% is the safest choice for producing deep-drawing (DDQ) and high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels.
- Screening Accuracy: We employ multi-stage mechanical sieving to ensure the 1-3mm range is free of oversized lumps that cause charging blockages.
- SGS Verified Quality: Every shipment is accompanied by a full lab report. We welcome independent third-party inspections at the port of loading to verify chemical and physical specs.
