Silicon Metal 3303 Metallurgical Grade
• Used widely in aluminum alloys, silicones, foundry operations, and high-temperature metallurgy
• Ensures stable performance with low impurity content for consistent industrial output
Product Overview
Produced from high-purity quartz through precisely controlled smelting in submerged arc furnaces, our Silicon Metal 3303 guarantees a high silicon content of Si ≥ 99%. It strictly conforms to the 3303 impurity standard (Fe ≤ 0.3%, Al ≤ 0.3%, Ca ≤ 0.03%), making it a superior alloying additive and chemical feedstock.
Core Industry Applications & Benefits:
- Aluminum Alloy Manufacturing: Acts as a vital additive for aluminum foundries. It significantly improves the tensile strength, casting fluidity, and corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys used in automotive and structural parts.
- Silicon-Based Chemicals: Serves as a primary, stable raw material for producing high-value silicone polymers, siloxanes, resins, sealants, and surfactants.
- Advanced Metallurgy: Provides highly efficient deoxidation and high-temperature casting performance in specialized metallurgical processes.
- Semiconductor & Solar: An excellent non-electronic grade feedstock for polycrystalline silicon manufacturing.
