"silicon metal" (also called industrial silicon in my country). silicon metal is a product smelted from quartz and coke in an electric furnace. The content of the main component silicon is about 98% (in recent years, 99.99% Si content is also included in silicon metal). The remaining impurities are iron, aluminum, Calcium etc.

silicon metal silicon metal Powder

Additional products of silicon metal: including silicon powder, edge silicon, black silicon, silicon metal slag, etc. Among them, silica powder is also called silica fume, microsilica fume or silica fume. It is widely used in the refractory and concrete industries.

Its main use is as an additive to non-iron-based alloys. Silicon is a non-metallic element, gray in color, metallic in color, hard and brittle. The content of silicon accounts for about 26% of the mass of the crust; the atomic weight is 28.80; the density is 2.33g/m3; the melting point is 1410C; the boiling point is 2355C; the resistivity is 2140Ω.m.
