Refractory Raw Materials-Metal silicon Materials

Product Description:

Bauxite is a naturally occurring, heterogeneous material composed primarily of one or more aluminum hydroxide minerals, plus various mixtures of silica, iron oxide, titania, aluminosilicate, and other impurities in minor or trace amounts.

Application

Aluminium is a product of increasing importance for manufacturing because of its light weight, strength and durability as well as its capacity to be recycled. On a life cycle assessment basis, the high strength to weight ratio of aluminium results in significant fuel savings, particularly where substitution can be made for heavier construction materials.

Features

With high aluminum
Low iron
Low silicon and low alkali content

In the same condition, using manganese or silicon to deoxidize separately, the burn out rate are 46% and 37%, but it is only 29% if using manganese alloy to deoxidize. So, it is used widely to smelting steel and its output increases faster than ferroalloy's, so has become an indispensable composite deoxidizing and alloy additives in steel industry. The silicon-manganese which contains carbon below 1.9% still is used to produce medium/low-carbon ferromanganese and semi-finished products of electro silicothermic process manganese metal.
