Definition of Off Grade Silicon Metal

 Date:2016/8/3 0:34:59

Silicon Metal is widely used in metallurgy and chemical indurstry, such like aluminum ingot product, steelmaking and it is an essential basic raw material in hi-tech industry.

The regular models of Silicon Metal includes: Silicon #2202, Silicon #3303, Silicon #441, Silicon #553.

 Amang them, silicon metal 553 are the most common one that wes used in  Steelmaking and Aluminum Alloying as deoxidzer and Silicon additive.Its silicon content is 98.5% and above. 

 Silicon Metal with silicon content lower than that, was regarded as Off-Grade Silicon.

Off Grade Silicon Metal, also called as Low Grade Silicon Metal, Silicon Metal Slag, Silicon Metal Dross, is a very good substitute of silicon metal 553. It can be used as:

1. Dioxidizer in steelmaking as replacement of ferrosilicon or high purity silicon metal. 

2. Aluminum alloy ingot production, as additive of silicon. 

3. Materials of silicon briquette.

4. Other replacement of higher grade silicon metal, metallurgical, chemical or other industries, with its much cheaper price.

We can provide Off-Grade Silicon Metal from grade 45% to 96%. With size of lumps 10-100mm, 10-50mm, briquettes 30*50mm, 50*50mm, powders 0-10mm,0-5mm,0-3mm, mesh powder or any other size requirement from customers.
