What is the effect of silicon in steel?What effect does stainless steel contain 1.44%of silicon?

Stainless steel and SI are very helpful for materials (especially at high temperatures) (especially at high temperatures), processed, castability, castability, fatigue resistance, etc.

Generally, it will not be added to too high, and large stainless steel castings often contain more Si.

Silicon steelmaking is used for deoxidation of steel liquid. Co -depositing with nickel and chromium can improve quenchability, and manganese elements can overcome the overheating sensitivity of steel.Silicon does not form carbides but solid soluble in the matrix to improve the strength and heat resistance of the substrate.

Silicon adds silicon as a reducing agent and deoxidant during the steelmaking process, so sedative steel contains 0.15-0.30%silicon.If the silicon content in the steel exceeds 0.50-0.60%, the silicon is the alloy element.Silicon can significantly improve the elastic limit of steel, yield point and tensile strength, so it is widely used as spring steel.1.0-1.2%of silicon is added to the mass -tone structure steel, and the strength can be increased by 15-120%.The combination of silicon and molybdenum, tungsten, chromium, etc. can improve corrosion resistance and antioxidant, and can create heat -resistant steel.Low -4%of silicon -containing low -carbon steel has a very high magnetic conductivity and is used for silicon steel sheets for the electrical industry.Increased silicon volume will reduce the welding performance of steel.Adding an appropriate amount of silicon to stainless steel can make stainless steel have excellent high temperature resistance, high concentration of nitric acid and sulfuric acid corrosion.Due to the interaction between stainless steel chemical ingredients, not only determine the type of steel substrate tissue structure, but also determine the composition of various phase and compounds of steel, which has a different effect on the various properties of stainless steel. Therefore, it also contains 1.44%of 1.44%The changes in silicon and other groups will have different results on performance.
