Application fields of calcium silicon alloyIntroductionCalcium Silicon is compound alloy which is composed of silicon, calcium and ferro.  Calcium Silicon is an ideal compound deoxidizer and desulfurizer which can be used in the production of many kinds of steel such as rail steel, low carbon steel, stainless steel and other special alloy like Ni base alloy and titanium base alloy.Application In steel industry, Calcium Silicon Alloy used as deoxidizer and desulfurizer.In converter steelmaking, Calcium Silicon Alloy can be used as warming agent.In cast iron production, Calcium Silicon Alloy can be used as inoculant.Steel smelting:In the steel smelting process, calcium silicone alloy can be used as a deoxidizer and desulfurizer to improve the quality and performance of steel.Casting:During the casting process, calcium silicone alloy can be used as a binder and coating for molding sand to improve the surface quality and dimensional accuracy of castings.Welding materials:During the welding process, calcium silicon alloy can be used as a coating material for the welding rod to improve the strength and corrosion resistance of the welded joint.Refractory materials: Adding an appropriate amount of calcium silicon alloy to refractory materials can improve the high temperature resistance and thermal shock resistance of refractory materials. 

Weak domestic demand for downstream steel is weighing on spot prices of ferrosilicon in India, prompting producers to reduce output, while ferrosilicon was already under pressure due to rising electricity prices.        On November 26, Argus assessed the ex-factory price of 70# ferrosilicon at about 107,000-109,000 rupees/ton. The ex-factory price fell by about 1,000 rupees/ton that day. Current domestic ex-works prices fluctuate at Rs 107,000-108,000/ton, down from Rs 109,000-110,000/ton on November 12, when prices started a downward trend due to weak domestic demand.        A slowdown in steel industry purchases is putting more pressure on near-term prices for ferrosilicon, which is already suffering from weak global demand. With no signs of recovery in inquiries and production costs, the trend is likely to continue in the short term, putting pressure on Indian producers, sources said. Ferrosilicon is used as an additive to increase the hardness and strength of finished steel.        Producers said limited construction activity, cold weather and poor infrastructure in Meghalaya, India's main coal-producing state, also affected output.        Sources said that after the production cut, Meghalaya's ferrosilicon production is now around 4,000-5,000 tonnes/month, compared with 5,000-6,000 tonnes/month before the power tariff hike was announced.        Data from the World Steel Association (WSA) showed that India's crude steel production in October was 12.5 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 1.7%.        A possible increase in ferrosilicon prices in Bhutan, India's main supplier, may also increase pressure on alloy demand.        According to Indian market participants, Bhutan has a ferrosilicon production capacity of 15,000 to 16,000 tonnes per month, and the country has been grappling with power shortages due to reduced water and electricity supplies due to low water levels. If Bhutan imports electricity from India, its production costs will rise, which may lead to a further increase of 2,000 rupees per ton in ex-factory prices to 109,000 to 111,000 rupees per ton. This will also reduce the competitiveness of Bhutanese ferrosilicon in the Indian market, forcing Bhutanese ferrosilicon producers to look for alternatives such as China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Hong Kong, they added.
