MI Silcarb

A replacement to Ferro-Silicon (70-75%) for "Si" recovery. In addition to silicon "Si" recovery, there is also carbon "C" recovery, thus enhancing casting quality in many ways

Advantages

  • Eliminates metallic slag related defects
  • Eliminates primary carbide formation in the casting & Improves machinability
  • Creates more nucleation sites and promotes more than 95% Type 'A' graphite flake formation in Gray iron and more nodule count and nodularity in SG Iron
  • Minimizes micro-porosity thereby improves, pressure tightness and prevents leakage in the casting
  • Improves furnace lining life and keeps the lining always clean without any slag build-up; and hence improves lining life.
  • Better utilization of available energy.
  • Recovery of "Si" is 75%; Recovery of "C" is 50%;
