Role of olivine

1. Forsterite is often used as refractory material to make forsterite brick, which is used in ladle and glass furnace.

2. Forsterite and sand are excellent molding materials used in the production of steel castings, especially manganese steel castings. They have the advantages of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and good chemical stability. It has high fire resistance and metal oxidation corrosion resistance, can effectively prevent the casting from chemical sand sticking, obtain a smooth casting surface and clear casting contour, and the casting is not easy to produce main sand inclusion defects.

3. It is used as the main raw material for the filling material at the outlet of electric furnace and the ramming material for the hearth of soaking furnace.
