Advantages And Disadvantages Of Using Magnesium For Steel Desulfurization

The advantages of using magnesium for steel desulfurization are:
1. Magnesium has a good desulfurization effect, which can remove sulfur from steel and reduce the sulfur content of steel.
2. The amount of magnesium added is low, which can save costs.
3. After magnesium desulfurization, the quality of steel is better and the applicability is wider.
But at the same time, there are also some disadvantages of using magnesium for steel desulfurization:
1. The market price of magnesium is unstable and the cost of adding is high.
2. Magnesium is easily oxidized during the steel smelting process, and special treatment is required when adding magnesium.
3. The reaction between magnesium and steel is relatively violent, and the amount of addition needs to be controlled, otherwise it is easy to cause accidents.
