Metallurgical
Industry
Silicon carbide is used for the de-oxidation
and re-carburation of cast iron and steel in foundries. Metallurgical grade
Silicon Carbide grain is a unique material for use in the production of iron
and steel. It is used in the foundry industry for electric furnace
production of gray, ductile, and malleable iron. It is an excellent
source of carbon and silicon, promoting nucleation and rendering the iron more
responsive to inoculation, deoxidizing the iron, which enhances furnace lining
life. Silicon carbide can also be used to enhance efficiency in ferroalloy
production using the patented Maxred process developed by Sublime
Technologies. Products are custom formulated and sized to client
specifications.
