Silicon Metal Grade 553

Introduction of Silicon Metal

Silicon metal is a gray and shiny semiconductor metal, also known as crystalline silicon or industrial silicon, is mainly used as an additive for non-ferrous alloys. The silicon metal is produced from quartz and coke in an electric furnace, and the content of silicon element is about 98%, other impurities are mainly iron, aluminum, calcium and so on. The classification of metallic silicon is according to the content of iron, aluminum and calcium, silicon metal can be divided into different grades such as 553, 441, 411, 3303, 2202, and 1101.

PRODUCT DETAILS

What is Silicon Metal Grade 553?
Silicon metal 553 is a commonly used grade. In the metal silicon 553, the silicon content should be as high as 98.5%. Silicon metal 553 generally the diameter is 10-50mm,50-100mm,10-100mm or other sizes as customer's request. The contents of iron, aluminum, and calcium are 0.5%, 0.5%, and 0.3% respectively.

Silicon 553 is mainly used in the production of aluminum ingots. Adding silicon metal to aluminum alloys makes them strong and light.

Application of Silicon Metal 533 :

1. Aluminum alloy

It can improve the already useful properties of aluminum such as castability, hardness and strength. Adding silicon metal to aluminium alloys makes them strong and light.

So, they are increasingly used in the automotive industry. Used to replace heavier cast iron parts. Automotive parts such as engine blocks and tire rims are the most common cast aluminum silicon parts.

In the actual production of aluminum ingots, silicon metal 553 can be quickly dissolved in aluminum water, improve the mechanical properties of aluminum, so that aluminum has a really good plasticity. Usually, the production of silicon metal 553 requires the use of mineral heating furnace to heat and react its raw materials. The common raw materials of metal silicon 553 include quartz, silica, wood chips, coke, etc. The production of silicon metal 553 requires a lot of energy and consumes a lot of power. Therefore, the price of metal silicon 553 is often affected by the price of raw materials, and the cost of electricity consumption is also one of the factors affecting the price of silicon metal 553.

2 Silicon metal can also be used as additive in special steel, also used as the demanding of the silicon steel alloy agent, smelting special steel and on-ferrous alloy deoxidizer.

3. Silicon metal can also be used as essential material in the solar and electronics industries. For examples, it can be used in the manufacture of solar panels, semi-conductors and silicon chips.

4. Silicon metal in chemical industry for the production of dimethyl silicone oil, amino silicone oil, silicone oil containing hydrogen and hydroxyl silicone oil, amino silicone oil emulsifying agent, silicone defoaming agent, etc., application is very extensive.
