A Brief Introduction of the Chinese Silicon Metal

The first silicon metal factory was built on 1957 with small production capability. Till 1986, China?began to produce silicon metal with increasing quantity. However, si-metal industry suffered a great hit with the anti-dumping duty imposed by America and Europe on 1989.More than half of the factories closed down. Nearly 90% of the factories suffered a deficit.

Chinese Si-metal industry has not been defeated but grown up. Before, it took more than one year to built si-metal stove. But now, only two to three months could make up 2 stoves of 5000kva-6300kva.Factories began to use O2 instead of CL2 to reduce the content of Ca. Not only quantity of Fe, Al, and Ca but also P, S, Ti, Mg, Mn, Zn can be tested by the manufactures. The package of the goods is also much better.
