About Silicon Metal (Plate)
Silicon metal (plate) is a ferroalloy produced by reducing silica in electric arc furnaces, primarily used in aluminum alloys to enhance casting properties and in chemical synthesis. International trade focuses on grades 98.5-99.9% purity, supplied as ingots, plates, or crushed lumps. China dominates global production and exports, followed by Russia, Norway, and the United States. Buyers should verify silicon carbide contamination levels, as elevated levels (above 0.5%) significantly impact downstream aluminum casting quality. Payment and logistics typically involve long lead times due to furnace production cycles and the commodity's bulk density considerations.
