Silicon Metal Powder 85% China Supplier

  Silicon Metal is known as a semi-metallic or metalloid, having several of the characteristics of metals. It is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust after oxygen, naturally occurring in various forms of silicon dioxide or silicates and very rarely in its pure form in volcanic exhalations. It takes its name from the Latin Silicus, which means flint.
Silicon can be found in the form of sand, quartz, rock crystal, amethyst, agate, flint and opal as an oxide. Granite, asbestos, feldspar, clay, mica are a few examples of the numerous silicate materials. Silicon is abundant, relatively easy to mine and is one of Man's most useful elements.
