Metallurgical Grade Silicon Description
In metallurgy, metallurgical grade silicon as an additive to improve the properties of copper and iron alloys, producing silicides, which are of utmost importance in the industrial production of steel.Such compounds are sometimes called silicon metals; they have high strength and hardness. That is, silicon as an alloying additive expands the scope of application of metals.

Supply Metallurgical Grade Silicon
Silicon metal is used, among other things, as an additive to aluminum alloys and is also used in the chemical industry for the production of siloxanes and silicones . Silicon metal can also be used as a base material in the electronics industry and solar energy (silicon chips, semiconductors, solar cells). It can improve aluminum's already beneficial properties such as fluidity, hardness and durability.
The addition of metallic silicon to aluminum alloys gives them lightness and durability. For this reason, they are increasingly used in the automotive industry. They are used as replacements for cast iron parts. Automotive parts such as engine blocks and tire rims are the most commonly found aluminum-silicon alloy casting parts.
