Silicon Carbide Iron Powder

From Harbour Refractory — reference entry

Silicon carbide iron powder is a metallurgical additive containing SiC and iron phases used for combined carburizing and deoxidation effects depending on practice.

Description

Selection of grade and size is based on dissolution behavior and targeted composition adjustments. Usage parameters (addition point and rate) follow foundry or steelmaking procedures.

Applications

  • Carburizer/deoxidizer in foundry practice
  • Additive in specific steel grades (process-dependent)
  • Component in tailored metallurgical blends

Packaging

  • Bags or drums on pallets with batch labeling
  • Protect from moisture and tearing during handling
  • Handle to minimize dust release

Storage

  • Store dry and covered; keep sealed after opening
  • Avoid water contact
  • Use FIFO for consistent results across lots
