Premium Silicon Metal 1101 / 3303 | Multi-Size Industrial Si for Steelmaking, Chemical Applications & Solar Panels | 2202 / 553 / 441

Silicon metal is a key factor in industrial efficiency and product quality, not just a raw material. Steelmakers, alloy producers, and renewable energy material manufacturers often face:

• Variability in deoxidation and alloying efficiency despite using standard grades
• Oxidation and material loss due to unsuitable particle sizes
• Trace impurities (Fe, Al, Ca) affecting steel, chemical intermediates, or photovoltaic feedstock
• Batch-to-batch inconsistencies complicating furnace operations and dosing schedules

ZhenAn supplies industrial-grade silicon metal with:

• Grades: 1101 (high-purity), 3303 (industrial reference), 2202 (intermediate grade)
• Particle Sizes: 441 (medium) and 553 (coarse)
• Forms: Flakes and granules for controlled melting and process adaptability

• Aligns silicon input with furnace size, reaction kinetics, and purity requirements
• Reduces oxidation loss and improves silicon recovery
• Ensures consistent batch-to-batch performance for steelmaking, chemical, and solar applications

• Alloy and carbon steel production
• Chemical intermediates and organosilicon compounds
• Renewable energy materials (solar panels, polysilicon feedstock)

Proper grade and purity selection is crucial for process efficiency and quality control.

• 1101: High-purity applications such as electronics, batteries, and solar-grade materials
• 3303: Cost-effective for bulk steelmaking and standard alloy production
• 2202: Controlled impurity grade for casting and chemical processes

Particle size and form are critical for melting consistency, oxidation control, and alloying efficiency.

• Flakes: Larger surface area, faster dissolution, ideal for rapid alloying or chemical reactions
• Granules: Controlled flow, reduced dust, and stable feeding in automated or continuous systems

• 553 (Coarse): 10–100 mm; slower oxidation, higher silicon recovery, ideal for primary steelmaking
• 441 (Medium): 10–50 mm; faster dissolution, uniform distribution, preferred for casting, chemical, and solar feedstock

ZhenAn implements strict size screening and batch-level verification to ensure consistent industrial performance.

• Metallic silver-gray crystalline structure
• Hard, brittle for controlled melting
• Melting point: ~1414 °C
• Density: ~2.33 g/cm³
