Petrov L.A., Kovalevich E.V., Guseynov B.G. Development and mastering of ferrosilidemelting technology and production of sacrificial anode castings
A technology of melting ferrosilide in an induction furnace of the type IST-0,16 has been developed. Corrosion resistance of grade ChS15 ferrosilide in accordance to GOST 7769-82, and ferrosilide additionally alloyed with chromium has been investigated. It is shown that ferrosilide alloyed with chromium has a 25% lower speed of anodic dissolution than ferrosilide without chromium addition. An industrial technology of making cast sacrificial anodes has been fine-tuned.
