Ferro Silicon Magnesium Uses

Ferro silicon magnesium, also known as FeSiMg alloy, is a remelting alloy made up of Ferro silicon, Magnesium, rare earth, and Calcium.
As an additive, it can crystallize the graphite in cast iron into a ball shape. Its’ main elements are Si, Mg, Re, Ca, etc. The silicon magnesium alloys containing rare earth elements are divided into ordinary rare earth nodularizer and yttrium base heavy rare earth nodularizer.

Ferro Silicon Magnesium Uses

•  Deoxidizer for steelmaking.

• Inoculant and Nodulizer for cast iron.

• Alloying agent.

Ferro Silicon Magnesium Application 

Nodulisation is a process of controlling the structure and properties by changing the graphite shape from flakes to spheroidal in cast iron during solidification. A noduliser is a material which contains spheroidal graphite forming elements such as Mg, Ce, Ca, Ba, etc.

HONGSHUN supplies FeSiMg containing Ce which acts as a combination of these elements. A certain quantity of Magnesium in solution in the base metal is necessary to obtain the graphite is spheroidal form. On the other hand silicon which is the primary graphitising element prevents carbide formation and controls the release of Mg.
HONGSHUN has two types of nodulisers which is used in foundry for the production of nodular cast iron (Ductile Iron)
FeSiMg(5.0-5.50;5.50-6.00 and 9.5-10.0 Mg content)
