Major application fields of silicon metal powder

Both silicon metal powder and silicon metal are mainly composed of silicon elements, so they have similar properties to silicon. There are two allotropes of amorphous silicon and crystalline silicon. Amorphous silicon is a gray-black powder that is actually a microcrystal. Crystalline silicon has the crystal structure and semiconductor properties of diamond.

Silicon metal powder is widely used in refractories, powder metallurgy industry, is a good antioxidant effect. Adding silicon metal into the refractory can react with oxygen first, form a new ore phase closed pores, improve the density, prevent the penetration of slag iron, in order to improve the product's high temperature resistance, wear resistance and oxidation resistance.

Silicon metal powder is also widely used in refractory materials such as steel furnaces, kilns and kiln furniture. In the metallurgical casting industry, silicon metal as a non-iron alloy additive, silicon steel alloy agent, so as to improve the hardenability of steel. Silicon metal can also be used as a reducing agent for some metals, used in new ceramic alloys and so on. In addition to providing silicon metal powder, our company can also provide various specifications and models of silicon metal blocks, particles, powder according to customer requirements.
