FeSi and FeSiMg production process are using electric arc furnace, but I intend to produce it using an induction furnace. If there are literature or articles related to this issue, I would like to thank you for providing me.
The main restriction in induction furnace application is that silica doesn't get heat from magnetic field due to hysteresis phenomena. Therefore only low Si content would be possible as you can melt Fe in prior to charging Silica.
is used to produce high quality concrete with increased strength and durability. It is also used by refractory and the prefab chimney industries. is a ferroalloy produced by smelting quartzite with coal in presence of scrap iron or iron oxide in a submerged arc furnace. Identified by the amount of silicon contained, the most common varieties of ferrosilicon produced are 50%, 65% and 75%. FeSi can contain 1%-2% of calcium and aluminum with the balance of the product made up as iron. Ferrosilicon is used primarily as a deoxidizer.
