Technical applications of Silicon In Cast Iron include

Technical applications of silicon metal include:
​

ZhenAn is one of the largest manufacturers in China.

Aluminum alloy. Silicon dissolves in the aluminum liquid, which can increase the viscosity of the aluminum liquid and improve the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy.

​​

Solar battery. Ultra-high purity grade silicon is used in the production of solar panels. Silicon solar cells are the most commonly used cells in commercial solar panels.

electronic product. Ultra-high purity grade silicon is widely used in electronic devices such as silicon semiconductors, transistors, printed circuit boards, and integrated circuits. Semiconductor-grade metallic silicon, used in the manufacture of computer chips, is crucial to modern technology (European Commission, 2014; Euroalliages, 2016).

Battery. Currently, less than 1 kt of silicon metal is used in graphite anodes for lithium-ion batteries. This volume and its share of overall silicon metal demand is expected to increase significantly over the next decade.

Other applications for metallic silicon include explosives, refractories and ceramics.
