Silicon Metal

Silicon metal is produced by reducing high-purity quartz with carbon materials in an electric arc furnace at very high temperatures. The process yields crystalline silicon with controlled purity and low impurity levels. Due to its high silicon content and stable structure, silicon metal provides consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.

Grades Available:

Silicon Metal 553 – Balanced purity and cost efficiency

Commonly used in aluminium alloy production and steelmaking as a deoxidizer. Suitable for foundry applications, aluminium extrusion, and general metallurgical use.

Silicon Metal 441 – Higher purity, improved performance

Preferred for chemical industries and high-grade aluminum alloys. Offers lower impurity levels and better consistency for silicone, sealants, and specialty chemical manufacturing.

Silicon Metal 3303 – High-purity grade

Used in advanced chemical processing, electronics-related applications, and specialty alloy production where low iron, aluminum, and calcium content is critical.
