company news about Applications Of Silicon Metal

1. Silicon metal is widely used in smelting alloy materials, as a reducing agent used in the smelting of a variety of metals.
2. Silicon metal is widely used in refractory materials and power metallurgy industry, improving heat resistance, wear resistance and oxidation resistance.

3. Silicon metal is used in high-temperature material production to make enamels and pottery.
4. Silicon metal powder, as an alloy additive, improves the hardenability of steel in the metallurgical and casting industries.
5. Silicon metal powder is sublimated into monocrystalline silicon, as an important raw material for integrated circuits and electronic components, it has been widely used in high-tech fields, such as the semiconductor industry, which requires ultra-pure silicon wafers.

Most metallurgical silicon metals are used as alloying agents in the aluminum industry because of their ability to strengthen aluminum. Demand from the aluminum industry has grown steadily in recent years due to its increased use in structural engineering, aircraft manufacturing and the automotive industry. Aluminum alloys are lighter and more resistant to corrosion than carbon steel and can be made by adding metals such as copper, zinc, magnesium, manganese and silicon.
