Product Details

Silicon Metal
Metal silicon, also known as crystalline silicon or industrial silicon, is mainly used as an additive to non-ferrous based alloys. Metal silicon is a product made of quartz and coke in an electric furnace. The content of silicon in the main component is about 98% (including 99.99% of Si is also contained in metal silicon), and the other impurities are iron, aluminum, calcium, etc. .
Commonly used grades are 553/441/3303/2202/411/421 and so on.

1.Aluminum alloy
It can improve the already useful properties of aluminum such as castability, hardness and strength. Adding silicon metal to aluminium alloys makes them strong and light.
So, they are increasingly used in the automotive industry. Used to replace heavier cast iron parts. Automotive parts such as engine blocks and tire rims are the most common cast aluminum silicon parts.

2.Solar industry and electronics industry
Silicon metal can also be used as essential material in the solar and electronics industries. For examples, it can be used in the manufacture of solar panels, semi-conductors and silicon chips.
