In 2022, the gross production of silicon in the United States stood at a value of 348,000 metric tons of silicon.
Silicon alloys and metals are important in various industries. Ferrosilicon is commonly used in ferrous foundries and steel industries, while silicon metal is often used for aluminum, aluminum alloys, and the chemical industry. Silicon is also often used for semiconductors in solar panels, computer chips, and as a part of the automotive industry.
