Introduction to ferro silicon magnesium
Silicon-iron-magnesium alloy is an important metallurgical alloy, mainly used in casting and smelting industries. It is composed of three elements: silicon, iron and magnesium. The silicon content is usually between 30% and 70%, and the magnesium content is 5% to 20%. The iron content is usually between 15% and 40%. At the same time, we may also add a small amount of rare earth elements such as cerium (Ce) or lanthanum (La) to improve the properties of the alloy.

Properties of ferro silicon magnesium
Graphite spheroidization
ferro silicon magnesium can promote the spheroidization of graphite in cast iron, transforming graphite from flake to spherical, thereby improving the strength and toughness of cast iron.
Degassing ability
The alloy has good deoxidation, desulfurization and degassing properties in the process of aluminum smelting and casting, which helps to improve the purity and quality of the metal
Improve casting performance
Enhance the fluidity of cast aluminum alloys, reduce casting defects, and improve the quality of castings.
Corrosion resistance
Improve the corrosion resistance of cast iron and aluminum alloys and extend the service life of products.
Applications of ferro silicon magnesium
Used in ductile iron
The main function of ferro silicon magnesium alloy is to serve as a spheroidizer for ductile iron. Ductile iron is much stronger than gray cast iron and has better toughness, so it is more widely used and more popular.
Promote graphite spheroidization: ferro silicon magnesium alloy spheroidizer can promote the spheroidization of graphite in cast iron, transforming plate-shaped or angular graphite into spheroidal graphite, which is beneficial to improve the toughness and mechanical properties of cast iron.
Reduce grain boundary brittleness: Through spheroidization treatment, grain boundary brittleness is reduced, which helps to reduce the brittle fracture phenomenon of cast iron during use and improve the reliability of materials.
Increase the wear resistance of cast iron: Cast iron after spheroidization has a more uniform structure and better performance distribution, which can improve the wear resistance and abrasion resistance of castings.

For Casting industry
Ferro silicon magnesium can be used for casting aluminum alloys and magnesium alloys, and is an important alloy additive. Adding our silicon-magnesium alloy is very helpful to improve the quality of your castings.
Improve the mechanical properties of cast iron: Spheroidized cast iron has better plasticity and toughness. Ferro silicon magnesium can improve the strength, ductility and impact toughness of castings, and is suitable for engineering parts requiring high strength and high toughness.
Improve the surface quality of castings: Nodulant can reduce defects and holes in castings, and adding silicon-magnesium alloy can improve the surface quality and processing performance of castings.
