🌟 How is Silicon Metal Made? Unlocking the Power Behind the Alloy! 🌟

 

Ever wondered how high-purity silicon metal is produced - the material behind semiconductors, aluminum alloys, and solar panels?

Let's break it down 👇

 

⚙️ 1. Sourcing Raw Materials
Silicon metal starts with quartz (SiO₂) and carbon-rich materials like coal, wood chips, or petroleum coke. The purity of these raw materials directly impacts final product quality - that's why we strictly control every input.

 

🔥 2. High-Temperature Reduction
In a submerged arc furnace, raw materials are heated at >2,000°C. At this temperature, quartz reacts with carbon to form molten silicon, separating impurities through slag.
Result: A strong, high-purity base metal.

🔍 3. Refining & Grading
After cooling and solidifying, the silicon is crushed, screened, and classified by purity (e.g., 553, 441, 3303, etc.).
Whether you need silicon for aluminum alloying or electronics, we deliver tailored grades to meet your demands.
