Abstract

Silicon is one of the most common in nature and ranks second after oxygen (26% Si in the earth's crust). Due to its high chemical affinity for oxygen and high availability, silicon is primarily used as a deoxidizer in steel production. In addition, silicon is introduced into the metal for its alloying.The article analyses the effect of the Silicon element on iron carbon alloys as analloying element.
