Metal silicon also known as metallurgical-grade silicon or simply metallurgical silicon, is a form of silicon that is primarily used in the production of aluminum alloys and silicones. It is produced through the reduction of silica (SiO2) with carbon in an electric arc furnace, resulting in a high-purity silicon product.
It also finds applications in the manufacture of solar panels due to its excellent photoelectric properties.
Other applications include the production of alloys and other high-tech fields.
Silicon Metal processed by excellent industrial silicon and including full varieties.It is a product made by smelting quartz and coke in an electric furnace. The main element silicon content is about 98%, and the remaining impurities are iron and aluminum, Calcium, etc.
