Ferrosilicon alloy, as an important ferroalloy, is widely used in metallurgical industry. However, in the process of market trading and circulation, there are many inferior ferrosilicon alloy products, which will not only affect the quality of products, but also bring many problems to the production process.
Therefore, it is of great significance to know how to distinguish the quality of ferrosilicon alloys and what effects inferior ferrosilicon alloys will have on ensuring product quality and the smooth progress of the production process.
First, how to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of ferrosilicon alloy
1. Observe the appearance quality
The appearance of high-quality ferrosilicon alloy should be dark gray, smooth surface, no cracks, no oxidation phenomenon. The appearance of the inferior ferrosilicon alloy may have some problems such as uneven color, rough surface and many cracks. Therefore, by observing the appearance quality of ferrosilicon alloy, its quality can be preliminarily judged.
2. Check ingredient content
The composition content of ferrosilicon alloy is the key factor affecting its quality. The silicon content of high-quality ferrosilicon alloy should meet the national standard, and the impurity content is low. You can check the product label or consult the manufacturer to understand the ingredient content, but also through professional chemical analysis methods for detection. If the composition content does not meet the standard, it means that the quality of the ferrosilicon alloy is poor.
3. Physical performance test
High quality ferrosilicon alloy should have good hardness and toughness, not easy to fracture. The physical properties of the sample can be checked by observing and tapping it. If the sample is brittle or has insufficient toughness, it indicates that the ferrosilicon alloy is of poor quality.
Second, the impact of poor quality ferrosilicon alloy
1. Affect product quality
The high content of impurities in the inferior ferrosilicon alloy will lead to insufficient strength, hardness and toughness of the steel, affecting the quality and service life of the product. At the same time, the silicon content in the inferior ferrosilicon alloy may also be insufficient, resulting in the silicon content in the steel is not up to standard, further affecting the quality of the product.
2. Unstable production process
Poor quality ferrosilicon alloy is prone to crack and fragmentation in the production process, which brings unstable factors to the production process. These problems may lead to decreased production efficiency, increased production costs, and may even lead to safety accidents.
3. Impact the environment
The production process of inferior ferrosilicon alloy may produce a lot of waste gas, waste water and other pollutants, causing pollution to the environment. At the same time, poor quality ferrosilicon alloy in the use of the process is also easy to produce debris, dust and other waste, further aggravate the problem of environmental pollution.
To sum up, in order to ensure the quality of the product and the smooth progress of the production process, the selection of high-quality ferrosilicon alloy is crucial. When purchasing ferrosilicon alloy, reputable manufacturers and brands should be selected, and tested and accepted in strict accordance with national standards.
At the same time, for the used ferrosilicon alloy, it is also necessary to regularly check and maintain to ensure that its quality and performance meet the requirements. Only in this way can we ensure the quality of products and the smooth progress of the production process, and create greater economic and social benefits for enterprises.
