3303 Metallic Silicon

1. Product Use: Alloying element, refractory materials, aluminum die casting

2. Product Performance: Metallic silicon, also known as industrial silicon or crystalline silicon, has a dark gray luster, high melting point, excellent heat resistance, high resistivity, and strong oxidation resistance. The general particle size ranges from 10–100 mm or 2–25 mm.

3. Uses of Silicon: Adding industrial silicon to metals such as aluminum and iron can improve or enhance their excellent properties. The demand for industrial silicon in the automotive (including motorcycle) aluminum industry is substantial, so the development of the automotive industry in a region or country directly impacts the market dynamics of industrial silicon.
Industrial silicon serves as an additive for non-ferrous alloys. It is also used as an alloying agent for high-grade silicon steel and as a deoxidizer for smelting special steels and non-ferrous alloys. After a series of processes, industrial silicon can be drawn into monocrystalline silicon for use in the electronics industry. In the chemical industry, it is used to produce organic silicon, among other applications, earning it the nickname "magic metal" due to its wide range of uses.
Metallic silicon, also known as crystalline silicon or industrial silicon, is primarily used as an additive for non-ferrous alloys. Silicon is a non-metallic element, gray in color with a metallic luster, hard and brittle. Silicon accounts for approximately 26% of the Earth's crust by mass; its atomic weight is 28.80; density is 2.33 g/cm³; melting point is 1410°C; boiling point is 2355°C; and resistivity is 2140 Ω·m. Grades of metallic silicon: Based on the content of iron, aluminum, and calcium, metallic silicon can be classified into grades such as 553, 441, 3303, and 2202. By-products of metallic silicon: include silicon micro powder and metallic silicon slag. Silicon micro powder, also known as silica fume or microsilica, is widely used in the refractory and concrete industries.
