The present invention comprises directionally solidified multicrystalline silicon ingots, a silicon masteralloy for increasing the efficiency of solar cells made from wafers cut from the silicon ingots, method for increasing the yield when producing multicrystalline silicon ingots from a silicon melt by directional solidification. Further the present invention comprises a method for preparing said silicon masteralloy.

Multicrystalline silicon ingots, silicon masteralloy, method for increasing the yield of multicrystalline silicon ingots for solar cells

The present invention relates to a method for grain refining of aluminium and aluminium alloys wherein a siliconboron alloy containing between 0.01 to 4.0 % by weight of boron is added to molten aluminium or aluminium alloy in such an amount that the resulting melt of aluminium or aluminium alloy contains at least 50 ppm boron. The invention further relates to a grain refining alloy for aluminium and aluminium alloys which grain refining alloy is a siliconboron alloy containing between 0.01 and 4.0 % by weight of boron.
