company news about What are the application fields of metallic silicon powder?

      Whether it is metallic silicon powder or metallic silicon, the main component is silicon element, so it has similar properties to silicon. Silicon has two allotropes: amorphous silicon and crystalline silicon. Amorphous silicon is a gray-black powder, which is actually a microcrystal. Crystalline silicon has the crystal structure and semiconductor properties of diamond.

      Metallic silicon powder is widely used in refractory materials and is an effective antioxidant in the powder metallurgy industry. Adding metallic silicon to refractory materials can react with oxygen first to form a new mineral phase to seal the pores, increase density, prevent the penetration of slag iron, and improve the product's high temperature resistance, wear resistance and oxidation resistance.

     Metallic silicon powder is also widely used in refractory materials such as steelmaking furnaces, kilns, and kiln furniture. In the metallurgical  casting industry, metallic silicon is used as a non-ferrous alloy additive and silicon steel alloy agent to improve the hardenability of steel. Metallic silicon can also be used as a reducing agent for certain metals and used in new ceramic alloys, etc. In addition to providing metal silicon powder, our company can also provide metal silicon blocks, granules, and powders of various specifications and models according to customer requirements.
