Silicon is from Latin word for flint, silex: silicium, is a chemical element, which has the symbol Si and atomic number 14. Silicium is abundant in the 'earth crust minerals' called silicates, flint is only one but important example.

∙ 8y agoThe element silicon is created through a process where carbon and sand are heated to temperature close to 3,992 degrees fahrenheit. Silicon is also very abundant in the Earth's crust and is the seventh most plentiful element in the universe. Silicon was first discovered by a Swedish chemist named jons Jacob Berzelius in 1894

Where does silica come from when tig welding carbon steel?
Silicon is added to the tig rods in production. Use a gas weld rod which does not have the silicon and the weld will be full of porosity.
Where does Silicion come from?
Silicon is generally found in quartz (silicon dioxide) and rarely as a singular element (pure silicon crystals can rarely be found with gold/volcanic exhalations). It can also be found in silicate formations like granite, sandstone, and sand.
