What is Silicon Carbide in Induction Furnaces about?
This document discusses the use of silicon carbide (SiC) in induction furnaces for casting iron. Some key points: - SiC is produced from high purity silica sand and petroleum coke at very high temperatures. It does not melt but dissolves in molten metal, releasing silicon and carbon. - Proper dissolution requires adding SiC to the middle of the charge and giving it 20 minutes at 1450°C. Additions should be limited to 1% to avoid affecting furnace lining life. - SiC is an effective deoxidizer that impro
