Silicon Metal is commonly used as an additive for non-ferrous alloys, and it is also a deoxidizer for smelting special steel grades and non-ferrous alloys. In addition, Silicon metal is a good component in aluminum alloys, and most cast aluminum alloys contain silicon.
Particle Size: 1-3mm, 3-8mm, 10-50mm, 10-100mm, etc.
Package: 1Mton big bag.
Silicon metal is a product smelted from quartz and coke in an electric furnace. The main component of silicon is about 98% at least. Silicon is used in large quantities to be smelted into ferro silicon alloy in the iron and steel industry, and as a reducing agent (deoxidizer) in the smelting of many metals. Silicon is also a good component in aluminum alloys, and most cast aluminum alloys contain silicon.

Ferro silicon is widely used as deoxidizer and alloy additive in steel making, and also can be used as an inoculant and nodulizer for cast iron. Ferro silicon powder or atomized ferro silicon powder can be used as coating for welding rod production.
Silicon briquettes is made of silicon powder, being used in the cupola furnace, electric Furnace and ladle furnace. Used as alloy carriers, carburizers, heat or deoxidation agents during the melting process.
Silicon Metal Slag is similar to silicon metal, used as a deoxidizer in steel production. also used as a deoxidizer for magnesium, chromium and other non-ferrous metals.
