Silicon Metal for Aluminum Industry
JBT supplies metallurgical silicon metal 553, 551, 511, 441, 421, 411, 3303, 2202, 1101 and silicon metal 97.
In the aluminum industry, silicon metal is used as a reducing agent to remove impurities from aluminum alloys, and it is also used as an alloying agent in the production of aluminum alloys. In the steel industry, silicon metal is used as a deoxidizing agent to remove oxygen from steel and to improve its mechanical properties.
Silicon metal is added to aluminum alloys as an alloying agent to improve their mechanical properties, such as their strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance. By adding silicon to aluminum, the resulting alloy is stronger and more durable than pure aluminum, making it suitable for use in high-stress applications such as engine blocks and suspension components.

Application of Silicon Metal
- Silicon metal is widely used in aluminum industry and other metallurgy, foundry and chemical industry. In particular, it is widely used as a deoxidizer in the casting of special steel, silicon metal is an ideal material to purify molten iron and improve the steel quality, and is widely used in the automobile casting industry also.
- Non-ferrous alloy additives, metallic silicon can be used for deoxidizing smelting of special steels and non-ferrous alloys.
- Automobile factories use silicon metal primarily in the production of aluminum alloys, which are used to make various components of a vehicle. These components include engine blocks, cylinder heads, wheels, and other structural parts.
- In addition, silicon metal is used in the production of certain types of steel that are used in automobile manufacturing. For example, high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel, which is used in automotive structural components, requires the addition of silicon as an alloying agent to improve its strength and toughness.
- In automobile factories, silicon metal plays a crucial role in the production of high-performance and lightweight materials that are used to manufacture various components of a vehicle.
- Silicon metal is used as a reducing agent in the production of steel. It helps to remove impurities such as oxygen and sulfur from the molten steel, resulting in a purer and stronger steel product.
- Electric Vehicles: Silicon metal is also used in the production of components for electric vehicles, such as batteries and power electronics. Silicon metal is used to produce silicon wafers that are used in the manufacturing of solar cells and semiconductors for electronic devices.
- The use of silicon metal in automobile manufacturing helps to produce lightweight, high-performance, and durable components that contribute to the safety and efficiency of the vehicle.
