Presence of silicon in steel_____________________?
Correct answer: C. Decreases the blow holes formation tendency in castings
- A. Is in the form of free Si
- B. Indicates that steel is not deoxidised properly
- C. Decreases the blow holes formation tendency in castings
- D. None of these
Explanation
Silicon is commonly added to steel as a deoxidiser, removing dissolved oxygen and thereby reducing carbon-monoxide blowholes during solidification. It is therefore not normally present merely as free silicon in the steel.
