low-grade silicon metal 97

Silicon metal 97 is a silicon metal alloy, also known as defective silicon, low-grade silicon metal, and silicon metal slag. It is composed of about 97% silicon and contains small amounts of iron, aluminum and other trace elements.

Silicon metal 97 is often used in industries that accept lower purity silicon, such as the production of silicones, silanes, and other chemicals; it can also be used as a deoxidizer in the steelmaking industry or as an additive in the aluminum industry; in steelmaking Dioxide, as a substitute for ferrosilicon or high-purity Silicon metal.

Silicon 97, unlike Silicon 98-99, is a silicon grade containing a typical 1.7% Fe, which is an advantage in processes where Fe must be added. Large furnace operations have a high degree of consistency in both analytical and refining properties. The product has low calcium, slag and carbide content.

Silicon 97 is a refined grade silicon containing up to 0.05% calcium. The refining process ensures that the product is highly concentrated and residue-free. Silicon 97 dissolves easily and provides high yields. Silicon 97 is an excellent source of silicon for all aluminum alloys where iron is not a critical element. It can be used on all HP die cast alloys, hypereutectic alloys and most AA 6000 extrusion billet alloys.

97% of Silicon metal is the remaining material from the production of Silicon metal. Usually the Si content is above 97%. Often used as a low-cost alternative to silicon 553 metal. It can also be mixed with other ferrous alloys as low melting point alloys. Cost of replacing ferrosilicon deoxidizer in steelmaking deoxidation process.

The impurity content of 97 Silicon metal is not fixed, but we can find the most suitable product according to the customer's requirements and can also customize it.

Specifications

Applications and advantages of Silicon metal 97

① In some applications, Silicon metal 97 may replace Silicon metal 553 and 441, but this depends on the specific requirements and performance characteristics of the final product.

② Silicon metal 97, also known as defective silicon, emerged as the market demand for metal silicon grades gradually declined. It is generally less expensive than higher purity grades of Silicon metal such as 553 and 441. This makes it a more cost-effective option for certain applications that don't require high-purity silicon.

③. 97 Silicon metal is mainly used in organic silicon, polysilicon, cast aluminum alloy and other industries.

④. 97 Silicon metal is a by-product in the production process of Silicon metal. The silicon content is lower than standard Silicon metal 553/441/3303/2202. Generally, the silicon content is about 97%. It is also used as an oxygen scavenger and can replace Silicon metal for other purposes.

⑤ Although Silicon Metal 97 may be considered a lower quality grade compared to Silicon Metal 553 and 441 due to its lower silicon content and higher impurity content, it still has its own set of applications and can be applied to Certain industries and processes where silicon is less pure. This is acceptable.

⑥. Compared with Silicon metal 553 and 441, because it has lower silicon content and higher impurity level. It may contain more impurities such as calcium, magnesium, and other elements that can negatively affect the performance and characteristics of the final product.
