Problems solved by technology

This method is the method commonly used at present, and its process technology is simple, can make multi-element master alloy or application alloy, but also has deficiency: 1) rare earth metal easily local concentration is too high in molten iron, produces segregation; 2) this method The raw materials used are rare earth metals, especially for medium and heavy rare earth metals, the preparation process is complicated and the cost is high; 3) The melting temperature is relatively high. Since rare earth metals and pure iron are used as raw materials, the melting temperature requirements are high
This method has low production cost and simple process, but it also has the following defects: the distribution of rare earth and iron in the alloy fluctuates greatly, it is difficult to control, and the distribution error is as high as 3%-5%, which affects product consistency
