Introduction to Silicon Barium Alloy
Zhen An Metallurgy provides you with silicon barium alloy, the composition can be customised, barium content of 10%-30%, silicon content of 35%-65%, and other residual amount can be adjusted.
Silicon barium alloy is mainly used as deoxidiser and desulphurising agent for steel making and inoculant for casting. Silicon barium alloy improves the quality of steel through deoxidation and desulphurisation, which makes the liquid steel purer and the steel performance higher. Compared with traditional Ferrosilicon alloys, silicon-barium alloys are more efficient and economical.
Silicon barium alloys can also be used in ductile cast iron as an inoculant for cast iron to promote graphite formation and enhance the mechanical properties of cast iron. Silicon barium alloy is a long-lasting and effective inoculant in cast iron production.

Properties advantages of Ferro Silicon Barium
Silicon barium alloys can be reduced to half the amount of ferrosilicon alloys while achieving the same or better results. It is more efficient than iron-silicon alloy, and can be used at a ratio of 1:1.5 to replace iron-silicon and reduce the dosage.
Silicon barium alloys reduce material purchasing and operating costs due to reduced usage. This is particularly important in large foundries, where it can significantly improve economic efficiency.
Suitable for a wide range of metallurgical processes, including the production of high quality steel and the manufacture of complex castings.
Silicon barium alloys are twice as resistant to recession as 75% FeSi, ensuring consistent quality during cast iron production. This is particularly critical for the production of thin-walled castings.
Silicon barium alloys enhance the mechanical properties of cast iron by improving the graphite morphology and distribution in cast iron. At the same time, it reduces impurities in steelmaking and enhances the purity and properties of the steel. This makes them particularly suitable for demanding applications such as automotive engine components and aerospace structures.
By effectively deoxidising and desulphurising, purer steel is produced; by improving the graphite structure, the strength and workability of cast iron is enhanced.

Application of Silicon Barium
For Cast iron production
Silicon Barium widely used for deoxidation and alloying of cast iron to enhance the performance of castings.
Additive used in foundry casting process to promote graphitising, reduce white point tendency, improve graphite morphology and distribution, increase the number of eutectic clusters and refine the matrix organisation. Good results can be received within a short period of time (about 5-8 minutes) after inoculation treatment.
Inoculant for cast iron: promotes the formation of graphite in grey cast iron and ductile iron, improving their strength and workability.
Improvement of fluidity: In the casting process, Silicon Barium can improve the fluidity of the melt, make the details of the casting more clear and reduce the casting defects.
For Steelmaking
Silicon barium alloy as an additive can improve the composition and quality of steel. It is more efficient than iron-silicon alloy, and can replace ferrosilicon at the ratio of 1:1.5, reducing the dosage and more cost-effective.
Steelmaking deoxidiser and desulphuriser: Removes oxygen and sulphur from molten steel, reducing defects and improving ductility and toughness of steel.
Alloying element: Silicon barium can be used as an alloying element in the smelting process of steel to improve the oxidation resistance and strength of steel.
