Silicon Metal Powder, also known as Metal Silicon Powder, is the powder of high-quality silicon metal lumps. Silicon metal powder 99.99% in powdered form, silver gray or dark gray in color, and has a certain metallic luster. It has high melting point, good heat resistance, high resistivity, and high antioxidant effect. So, silicon metal is a basic industrial raw material and is applicable in many industries and fields. Its purity ranges from silicon metal 99.9% to 99.99% or even higher. As a result, it is applicable in aerospace, aviation, electronic semiconductors, chemical industry, smelting, Insulation, advanced refractory, ceramic raw materials, nano silicon, etc.
Usage of Silicon Metal Powder
Silicon Metal Powder is a good material in refractory materials and powder metallurgy industries to improve the high temperature resistance, wear resistance and oxidation resistance of products. It can be a raw material for the production of cermets. It is also as good as high-grade refractory material in steel-making furnaces, kilns and kiln furniture.
In the silicone chemical industry, industrial silicon metal powder is the basic raw material for the synthesis of silicone polymers. For example, it is capable to produce silicon monomers, silicone oil, and silicone rubber preservatives. Because it helps improving the high temperature resistance, electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, and waterproofing of the product. and other characteristics.
Moreover, industrial silicon metal can make single crystal silicon, and the processed silicon wafers are widely useful in high-tech fields and are essential raw materials for integrated circuits and electronic components.
In the metallurgical casting industry, silicon powder is a non-ferrous additive and alloying 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.
By purifying polycrystalline silicon, High Purity Silicon Metal Powder 3N 4N 5N 6N can replace nano carbon powder or graphite as anode material for lithium batteries, greatly increasing the capacity of lithium batteries.
