High carbon ferrochromium is suitable for a wide range of industries. Due to its hard texture, excellent wear and high temperature resistance, high carbon ferrochromium is also popular. Suppliers of silicon manganese alloy powder and high carbon ferrochromium will take you to learn about its oxidation blowing method:
Firstly, it should be noted that the main task of oxidizing and converting high carbon ferrochromium is to decarbonize and maintain chromium. When oxygen is blown into liquid high carbon ferrochrome, the first to oxidize is chromium and iron, as the content of chromium and iron accounts for more than 90% of the total alloy.
Secondly, these oxides oxidize the silicon in the alloy. As chromium, iron, and silicon are oxidized, the temperature of the molten pool rapidly increases, and the decarburization reaction develops rapidly. The higher the temperature, the more favorable the decarburization reaction is, and it can suppress the oxidation reaction of chromium. The carbon in the alloy can be reduced to a lower level. In short, the oxidation blowing method is to directly blow oxygen into liquid high carbon ferrochromium to decarburize and produce medium to low carbon ferrochromium, which can obtain more types of ferrochromium.
