DESCRIPTION
Silicon Metal 553 Grade is a high-purity silicon metal that is typically used in the production of aluminum alloys and other industrial applications. It is also known as silicon metal 98.5% or grade 553 silicon metal.
The production of silicon metal involves the reduction of silica (SiO2) with carbon or other reducing agents in an electric arc furnace or a submerged arc furnace. The resulting silicon metal is then refined and processed to the desired grade, including the 553 grade.
features include:
- Purity: Silicon metal 553 is typically 99.5% pure or higher, making it suitable for use in high-tech applications that require a high level of purity.
- Particle size: The particle size of silicon metal 553 is generally between 3 and 10 millimeters, which allows for easy handling and processing.
- Melting point: Silicon metal 553 has a melting point of around 1,414 degrees Celsius, which makes it a good candidate for high-temperature applications.
- Density: The density of silicon metal 553 is around 2.33 grams per cubic centimeter, which makes it relatively lightweight and easy to handle.
- Chemical properties: Silicon metal 553 is a non-reactive material that is resistant to most acids and alkalis. It is also a good electrical conductor and has excellent thermal conductivity.
- Appearance: Silicon metal 553 typically has a dark gray or black appearance, and may have a slightly metallic sheen.
