Is silicon carbon alloy the same as silicon carbide?

Feb 13, 2023

Silicon-carbon alloy is a new type of composite deoxidizer for diffusion deoxidation of ordinary carbon steel. Features: Silicon has good activity, short deoxidation time and high efficiency; easy to use, can be used quantitatively according to the end-point molten steel content, saves energy and improves the working environment; contains high carbon, can increase carbon while deoxidizing, and can replace part of silicon Iron and recarburizer, improve the comprehensive benefits of electric furnace.
Silicon carbide is a new type of powerful composite deoxidizer, which replaces the traditional carbon powder and silicon powder deoxidation. Compared with the original process, the physical and chemical properties are more stable, the deoxidation effect is good, the deoxidation time is shortened, the slag is formed early, and the reducing atmosphere is concentrated. , save energy, improve steelmaking efficiency, improve quality, reduce raw material consumption, reduce environmental pollution, improve labor environment, and improve the comprehensive economic benefits of electric furnaces. In addition, it is widely used in high-grade refractory bricks, nozzles, electronic boards, etc., and refractory materials.
Silicon in silicon-carbon alloys exists in the form of simple substances, while silicon in silicon carbide exists in the form of compounds, and there is an essential difference between the two.
Silicon carbide is a molecule with a defined ratio of carbon to silicon.
Silicon-carbon alloy is a mixture, and the ratio between silicon and carbon can be adjusted.
