Foundry

Foundries melt iron ore, scrap iron, and scrap steel in high-temperature furnaces to produce molten iron. Impurities contained in the slag generated during the melting process must be eliminated from the molten iron. Silicon carbide plays a crucial role as a metallurgical additive, as its silicon and carbon molecules react with impurities in the molten metal slag, aiding in the removal of contaminants and enhancing the yield of iron.

Furthermore, silicon carbide has the ability to release metal oxides trapped within the slag, generating additional energy to facilitate the melting process. Additionally, silicon carbide improves the metallurgical characteristics across all grades of iron.
