DESCRIPTION
Silicon metal, also known as crystalline silicon or industrial silicon, is mainly used as an additive for non-ferrous alloy. Silicon metal is smelted from quartz and coke in an electric furnace, with about 98% silicon. Silicon metal is mainly composed of silicon, so it has similar properties to silicon. Silicon has two allotropes: amorphous silicon and crystalline silicon. Amorphous silicon is a gray-black powder, which is actually a kind of microcrystal. Crystalline silicon has the crystal structure and semiconductor property of diamond, with a melting point of 1410°C, a boiling point of 2355°C, a Mohs hardness of 7; thus, it is brittle. Amorphous silicon is chemically active and can burn furiously in oxygen. It can react with non-metals such as halogen, nitrogen and carbon at high temperatures, and can also react with metals such as magnesium, calcium and iron to form silicide.
