DESCRIPTION
Metallurgical grade silicon powder is a raw material used in steelmaking. It is a grey or black powder with a particle size ranging from 0.1 to 10 millimeters. The silicon content in metallurgical grade silicon powder is typically between 98% and 99.5%.
Metallurgical grade silicon powder is used as a deoxidizer and alloying agent in the steelmaking process. It reacts with the oxygen in the molten steel to form silicon oxide, which is then removed as slag. The addition of metallurgical grade silicon powder can also improve the mechanical properties of the steel, such as hardness, strength, and ductility.
In addition to steelmaking, metallurgical grade silicon powder is also used in the production of aluminum alloys, silicone rubber, and other industrial applications.
