Below are today's tax-included quotation ranges for silicon metal by grade. The "Price Change" field is shown as "--", which means the movement is not specified in the table and should not be interpreted as up or down. Final executable pricing usually depends on order quantity, sizing, packaging, inspection requirements, and shipment window.

Grade-by-Grade Highlights (Buyer-Friendly Notes)
1) Silicon Metal 553 - USD 1300–1330/ton (FOB Huangpu)
Positioning: Cost-effective mainstream grade widely discussed for general metallurgical use and aluminum-related applications where balanced cost-performance matters.
Buyer tip: If you are price-sensitive and your process tolerance is wider, 553 is often used as a practical starting grade. To secure a stable outcome, focus on consistent sizing (e.g., 10–50mm or 50–100mm) and clear packing requirements rather than only chasing the lowest number.
2) Silicon Metal 441 - USD 1350–1400/ton (FOB Huangpu)
Positioning: Typically discussed as a higher purity option than general grades, often used when buyers want tighter impurity control and better batch consistency.
Buyer tip: When choosing 441, ask for lot-based COA and confirm your preferred size range (lumps or granules). In many negotiations, the difference within the range often reflects sizing control, screening, and inspection support.
3) Silicon Metal 421 - USD 1450–1500/ton (FOB Huangpu)
Positioning: Often considered a mid-to-higher tier option in negotiations, selected when buyers require stricter control than general grades but do not necessarily need top-tier premium positioning.
Buyer tip: For 421 buyers, the key is to align your internal limits (Fe/Al/Ca focus) and agree on lot traceability. If you have performance requirements, specify your application and request stable lots rather than shopping only by headline price.
4) Silicon Metal 3303 - USD 1480–1500/ton (FOB Huangpu)
Positioning: Commonly discussed for chemical/silicone-related chains where stability and repeatability matter.
Buyer tip: If you buy 3303 for chemical use, the best practice is to negotiate as a "supply program": confirm lot stability expectations, packaging (moisture control if needed), and optional sampling/inspection plans. This reduces the hidden cost of variability in chemical processing.
5) Silicon Metal 2202 - USD 2000–2100/ton (FOB Huangpu)
Positioning: A focused grade often requested when buyers care about low-Al positioning or impurity-sensitive requirements.
Buyer tip: 2202 is usually evaluated by buyers who prioritize stability and control. To get the real value from 2202, confirm: (1) lot-based COA, (2) strict size tolerance, (3) careful packing/loading to reduce fines. These execution factors often decide where your final deal lands within the quotation range.
FOB Huangpu Port Notes (Important)
FOB means goods are delivered to Huangpu Port for loading; ocean freight/insurance/destination charges are typically borne by the buyer.
"Tax-included quotation" is provided as a reference range; final executable terms depend on buyer's requirements and contract structure.
How to Get a Firm Offer (Recommended RFQ Details)
To convert the reference range into a firm quotation, please specify:
Grade (553/441/421/3303/2202)
Size range (10–50mm / 50–100mm / granules) + tolerance
Packaging (1MT big bag / 25kg bags / liner / pallets)
Quantity + shipment window
Inspection needs (COA per lot, third-party inspection if required)
FAQ
Q1: What does "Price Change: --" mean?
A: The table does not specify a change value; it should not be interpreted as an increase or decrease.
Q2: Why is there a quotation range instead of one number?
A: Final price depends on sizing, packing, inspection requirements, order volume, and shipment schedule.
Q3: Which grade should I choose for chemical/silicone-related use?
A: Many buyers discuss 3303 for chemical-oriented stability needs; final choice depends on your process sensitivity and COA requirements.
Q4: Why is 2202 priced higher?
A: 2202 is often purchased for targeted impurity control (commonly low-Al positioning) and stricter execution requirements, which can influence pricing.
Q5: Can you provide COA and loading photos?
A: Yes, COA per lot and loading records are available; third-party inspection can be arranged if needed.
