What is metallic silicon powder

Metal silicon powder is metal silicon (industrial silicon) after grinding and processing of powdered silicon powder. Metallic silicon can also be called crystalline silicon or industrial silicon, and its main use is as an additive to non-iron based alloys. Industrial silicon is also used as an alloying agent for demanding silicon steel, and as a deoxidizing agent for smelting special grades of steel and non-iron based alloys. After a series of processes, industrial silicon can be drawn into monocrystalline silicon for use in the electronics industry.

The use of metal silicon powder

1, metal silicon powder is widely used in refractory materials and powder metallurgy industry, can be used to improve the product's high temperature resistance, wear resistance and oxidation resistance. Its products are widely used in steelmaking furnaces, kilns and kiln utensils.

2, in the silicon chemical industry, metal silicon powder is the basic raw material of silicone polymer synthesis, such as the production of silicon monomer, silicone oil, silicone rubber preservatives, so as to improve the product's high temperature resistance, electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, corrosion resistance, waterproof and other characteristics.

3, in the metallurgical casting industry, metal silicon powder as a non-iron base alloy additive, silicon steel alloy agent, thereby improving the hardenability of steel. Industrial silicon powder can also be used as a reducing agent for some metals, and can also be used for new ceramic alloys.
