Metal silicon powder has a wide range of uses. In the field of electronic energy, it is material to manufacture integrated circuit chips, solar panels, etc. It is also an good alloy additive in the metallurgical industry. In the chemical industry, it participates in the synthesis of organic silicon compounds. It also has important uses in industries such as ferroalloy smelting, refractory materials, wear-resistant castings, metallurgical casting, semiconductors and photovoltaics, and is an indispensable key material for many industries. Above are main applications of silicon powder.
In electronics and energy, silicon metal powder is an important material for the production of monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon wafers. Silicon wafers are main material of various integrating circuit chips and become the “brain” of electronic products. It is also the basic material of solar panels, helping the photovoltaic power generation industry to flourish. Not only that, it is being explored for energy storage technology, such as as a negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries to improve energy storage efficiency, bringing new hope for solving energy storage problems.
In the metallurgical industry, applications of metal silicon powder are wide. It’s an alloy additive, can significantly improve the mechanical strength and corrosion resistance of steel and optimize metal properties. In ferroalloy, it acts as a deoxidizer and alloy additive to improve the utilization rate of deoxidizers. Meanwhile, it can purify molten steel, and improve steel quality. The metal silicon models commonly used in the metallurgical industry include Silicon Metal 553, Silicon Metal 441, Silicon Metal 3303, Silicon Metal 2202, etc. In casting, it is not only a deoxidizer and alloy additive in steelmaking, but also an inoculant for casting production. In the production of wear-resistant castings, adding metal silicon powder can improve the wear resistance of castings and extend their service life.
As to the chemical industry, it participates in the synthesis of organic silicon compounds. Silicon powder has a wide useful range in personal care, building sealants and other aspects. In the silicone industry, metal silicon powder helps to make high-quality silicon monomers, silicone rubber, silicone oil and other products. These silicon products can improve the high temperature resistance, electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, corrosion resistance, waterproof and other characteristics of the product.
The semiconductor industry is inseparable from high-purity metal silicon powder. It is the main raw material for the manufacture of modern large-scale IC and optical fibers, supporting a piece of the sky in the information age. For example, High Purity Silicon Metal Powder can be divided into 3N-9N Silicon powders according to different purities. In the photovoltaic industry, materials with silicon as the main component are very important in various methods and indispensable. Si powder has becoming the cornerstone of modern industrial development.
The key technical indicators of metal silicon powder, such as chemical composition, particle size, morphology, etc., reflect its chemical reactivity. Different application fields have strict requirements on indicators such as particle size, because this will directly affect its morphology, specific surface area and chemical reactivity. In short, it has diverse functions and characteristics. Silicon powder has become a strong support for the development of many industries
