Silicon metal, also known as crystalline silicon or industrial silicon, is primarily used as an additive in non-ferrous alloys. It plays a crucial role in the steelmaking industry. It is primarily used as a deoxidizing agent and alloying element.

The classification of silicon metal is typically based on the content of the three main impurities: iron, aluminum, and calcium. Depending on the levels of iron, aluminum, and calcium, it can be categorized into various grades such as silicon metal 553, 441, 421, 3303, 2202, 1101...etc.
