off-grade silicon alloy

off-grade silicon

off-grade silicon

off-grade silicon is a by-product from the manufacture of silicon metal, it is a kind of mixture which contains the main content Silicon (45%~95%) and other components such as C, S, P, Al, SiO2, Fe;The off-grade silicon is much cheaper than purity silicon metal, and has many industrial applications.

Application:

1.It is a good substitute for ferro silicon in steel making, which has advantage in reducing the making cost and reusing resource.

2. It is used to be made silicon briquette which has far and wide market at home and abroad.

3. It is used as deoxidizing agent in steel making to reduce oxygen levels in the melt via reaction .

Use as deoxidizing agent in the production of magnesium, chromium and other metals via the same mechanism.
