Silicon (Si): plus silicon as a reducing agent in the steel making process and deoxidizer, it killed steel containing 0.15-0.30% silicon. If the steel is more than 0.50-0.60% silicon, silicon even if alloying elements. Silicon can significantly improve the elastic limit of the steel, the yield point and tensile strength, it is widely used as a spring steel. Added 1.0-1.2% silicon structure in quenched and tempered steel, strength can be increased by 15-20%. Silicon and molybdenum, tungsten, chromium, combined with improving corrosion resistance and antioxidant effects, can produce heat-resistant steel. Silicon 1-4% of low-carbon steel, with a high permeability, do silicon steel for electrical industry. Increase the amount of silicon will reduce weldability.
