Metallurgical Silicon Metal Use As Reducing Agent
Silicon Metal
Description:
Metal silicon, also known as crystalline silicon or industrial silicon, is mainly used as an additive for non-iron-based alloys. Metallic silicon is a product smelted from quartz and coke in an electric furnace. The main component silicon content is about 98%.

Application:
Silicon Metal 553 is one of the semi-metals, formerly known as "silicon". The melting point is 1420°C and the density is 2.34 grams per cubic centimeter. Hard and brittle. Insoluble in acid at room temperature, easily soluble in alkali.
The properties of metallic silicon 441 are similar to those of germanium, lead, and tin, and have semiconductor properties. Silicon is extremely abundant in the earth's crust, second only to oxygen, accounting for more than a quarter of the total weight of the earth's crust, and exists in the form of silica or silicate. The purest silicon mineral is quartz or silica.
FAQ:
Q:Is a silicon a metal?
A: it's a metalloid, an element that falls somewhere between the two. The category of metalloid is something of a gray area, with no firm definition of what fits the bill, but metalloids generally have properties of both metals and non-metals.
Q: Are you trading company or manufacturer ?
A: We are manufacturer.
