Metal silicon, also known as crystalline silicon or industrial silicon, is a silver-gray, hard and brittle crystalline substance. It is refined by smelting quartz and coke in an electric furnace. The content of its main component, silicon, is maintained at about 98%, or even as high as 99.99%. In addition to silicon, it also contains a small amount of other elements such as iron, aluminum, and calcium. The presence of these elements makes metallic silicon have a variety of different specifications to meet different industrial needs.
Silicon metal also has the characteristics of high melting point, good heat resistance, high resistivity, and high oxidation resistance. This material has a wide range of applications in many industries and fields and is an indispensable basic industrial raw material.
Metal Silicon is widely used as an alloy additive in the steel, casting and other industries. It can improve the hardness, strength, corrosion resistance and wear resistance of materials, and can also improve the casting performance of metals.
Metal Silicon is one of the main raw materials for semiconductor materials. It can be made into high-purity silicon wafers, which are used to manufacture electronic components such as integrated circuits and solar cells. It is one of the indispensable materials in the modern electronics industry.
Metal Silicon and metals such as tungsten and molybdenum can be made into Cemented Carbide. This Cemented Carbide has extremely high hardness, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and wear resistance. It is widely used in various machine tools, such as tools, drills and other mechanical processing industries.
Metal Silicon can also be used to manufacture organic silicon compounds, friction materials, anti-corrosion coatings and other fields.
