Metallic silicon, also known as crystalline silicon or industrial silicon, is mainly used as an additive for non-iron-based alloys. Industrial silicon is also used as an alloying agent for silicon steel with strict requirements and as a deoxidizer for smelting special steels and non-ferrous alloys. After a series of processes, industrial silicon can be drawn into single crystal silicon for use in the electronics industry.
Uses of metal silicon powder
1. Metallic silicon powder is widely used in refractory materials and powder metallurgy industries to improve the high temperature resistance, wear resistance and oxidation resistance of products. Its products are widely used in steel-making furnaces, kilns, and kiln furniture.
2. In the silicone chemical industry, metallic silicon powder is the basic raw material for the synthesis of silicone polymers, such as used in the production of silicon monomers, silicone oil, and silicone rubber preservatives, thereby improving the high temperature resistance, electrical insulation, and corrosion resistance of the product. Anti-corrosion, waterproof and other properties.
3. Metal silicon powder is drawn into single crystal silicon, and the processed silicon wafers are widely used in high-tech fields and are essential raw materials for integrated circuits and electronic components.
4. In the metallurgical casting industry, metallic silicon powder is used as a non-ferrous alloy additive and silicon steel alloy agent to improve the hardenability of steel. Industrial silicon powder can also be used as a reducing agent for certain metals and used in new ceramic alloys, etc.
