What is silicon metal 553？

Next, Hensfate Metal will share the relevant knowledge of metal silicon 553 for you in detail.Silicon metal is also called industrial silicon, and its main use is for smelting in aluminum ingot factories.

Silicon metal is a product smelted from quartz and coke in an electric furnace. The main component of silicon is about 98% (in recent years, 99.99% of Si is also contained in metallic silicon).

The remaining impurities are iron and aluminum , Calcium, etc.

 The classification of metallic silicon is usually classified according to the content of iron, aluminum and calcium, silicon metal can be divided into different grades such as silicon metal 553/441/3303/2202 and 1101.

Silicon metal 553 is a commonly used grade. In the metal silicon 553, the silicon content should be as high as 98.5%. The contents of iron, aluminum, and calcium are 0.5%, 0.5%, and 0.3% respectively.

Silicon metal 553 and silicon metal 441 are mainly used in the production of aluminum ingots.Adding silicon metal to aluminium alloys makes them strong and light.
