Product Introduction

Silicon Metal 441 (grade Si4410) is a high-purity silicon-based alloy primarily used in aluminum alloy production, particularly as a key additive in aluminum ingot casting. The designation "441" defines strict impurity limits: Si ≥99%, Fe ≤0.4%, Al ≤0.4%, Ca ≤0.1%.

 

With ultra‑low calcium and iron content, it effectively improves melt fluidity, reduces casting defects, enhances mechanical properties, and ensures stable quality of aluminum ingots, profiles, and die‑casting parts. It is the preferred silicon additive for mid‑to‑high‑end aluminum alloys.

FAQ

 

Q: What does "441" mean in Silicon Metal 441?

A: It stands for Si≥99%, Fe≤0.4%, Al≤0.4%, Ca≤0.1%.

Q: Why use 441 for aluminum ingots instead of 553?

A: 441 has lower Ca & Fe, less slag, better surface & ductility, ideal for quality‑sensitive alloys.

Q: Can you customize sizes?

A: Yes, lump, granule, powder available per furnace needs.

Q: Delivery time?

A: Normally 7–15 days for standard orders.
