About Silicon Metal (Wire)
Silicon metal wire is a ferrosilicon product used primarily as a deoxidizer and alloying agent in steel and iron production, and as a raw material for aluminum alloys and chemical applications. Internationally traded grades include 98% and 99.5% purity silicon wire, typically supplied in coils or spools weighing 5-25 kg per unit. China dominates global production and exports, followed by Russia, Norway, and India, collectively accounting for over 80% of supply. Buyers should verify wire diameter specifications (commonly 1.6-3.2 mm) and confirm moisture content below 0.5%, as absorbed water can cause explosive reactions during melting operations.
