Experience: 30 years supplying high-purity silicon metal globally
Target Audience: Steel manufacturers, alloy producers, and industrial procurement professionals
High-purity silicon metal is a critical raw material in steelmaking, alloy production, and chemical industries. Impurities such as iron, aluminum, or trace metals can negatively impact:
-
Steel Quality: Lower tensile strength, increased inclusions, and reduced corrosion resistance.
-
Melting Efficiency: Higher slag formation, slower furnace operations, and increased energy consumption.
-
Alloy Consistency: Variability in ferrosilicon or specialty alloys, leading to inconsistent performance in downstream applications.
Selecting high-purity silicon metal reduces operational risks and ensures predictable, high-quality outputs.
| Factor | Consideration | Industrial Relevance |
|---|---|---|
| Silicon Content (Si) | ≥99.9% for high-performance steel and specialty alloys | Higher silicon content improves chemical reactivity and alloy precision |
| Iron Content (Fe) | ≤0.05% recommended | Low iron ensures cleaner steel, fewer inclusions, and consistent mechanical properties |
| Particle Size & Shape | Customizable 10–100 mm or granular forms | Optimizes melting efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and ensures uniform furnace behavior |
| Trace Impurities | Aluminum, calcium, phosphorus, and other elements | Minimizing impurities reduces defects in high-strength steel and specialty alloys |
| Certifications | ISO 9001, SGS verification, optional ISO 14001/REACH compliance | Confirms quality, traceability, and regulatory compliance |
-
