DESCRIPTION
In metallurgy, silicon metal 553 is primarily used as a deoxidizing agent and an alloying element in the production of steel and other metals.
When added to molten steel, silicon metal reacts with oxygen and other impurities to form silicon oxide and other slag-forming compounds, which are then removed from the steel. This helps to improve the overall quality and purity of the steel.
Silicon metal is also used as an alloying element in the production of various non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum and copper. When added in small amounts, silicon can improve the strength, hardness, and ductility of these metals. Additionally, it can also improve the electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion.
Silicon metal 553 is preferred in metallurgical applications due to its high purity level and low levels of impurities such as iron, aluminum, and calcium. Its consistent quality and composition make it an ideal choice for use in steel and other metal production processes.
