Silicon Barium Alloy
Silicon barium alloy is used as a metallurgical deoxidizer and modifier in steelmaking and foundry practice.
Description
The combination of Si and Ba can influence deoxidation kinetics and inclusion morphology depending on grade and process route. Addition point, rate, and particle size are selected according to target steel composition and practice.
Applications
- Deoxidation in specified steel grades
- Inclusion modification where applicable
- Foundry inoculant in certain systems
Packaging
- Bagged or palletized with product and batch labels
- Protect from moisture and mechanical impact
- Observe safe handling for metallurgical additions
Storage
- Store dry and covered; keep sealed when not in use
- Segregate lots for composition control
- Apply FIFO for multiple batches
