Since April or May 2026, the domestic steelmaking industry has continued to promote low-cost upgrading and transformation, leading to an increase in demand for silicon carbon alloys in the market. The current price of silicon carbon alloy balls is relatively stable, and compared with traditional silicon iron, the cost is reduced. Widely used in major steel mills, it has become the mainstream auxiliary material for deoxidation and alloying in converter steelmaking. With the popularization of new cold pressing technology, metallurgical silicon carbon balls have higher strength and lower feeding loss, effectively improving the internal control quality of steel and the qualification rate of finished products. Silicon carbon sphere tend to become the preferred choice for reducing costs and increasing efficiency in steelmaking.
Advantages of silicon carbon alloy balls
Deoxygenation efficiency: stable deoxidation, high deoxidation efficiency, long-lasting effect, small fluctuation of oxygen content in molten steel, and improved metallurgical yield.
Cost reduction: By reducing the amount of alloy added, the raw material cost of silicon carbide is lower compared to silicon iron. Reduce steelmaking costs and increase economic benefits.
Easy to operate: Silicon carbon alloy ball, easy to feed, good fluidity. After being put into the furnace, it disperses evenly and reacts uniformly. The current work line does not require any changes, and feeding is simple and convenient.
