Silicon Metal powder is a very important industrial product can be used in steel-making, cast iron, aluminum (aviation, aircraft & automobile parts production), and silicon optoelectronic device and many other industries. It’s known as the “salt” of modern industries. Metal silicon is made from quartz and coke in electric heating furnace smelting products. The main ingredient of silicon content is about 98%. The rest of impurities is iron, aluminum and calcium etc.

1. Industrial silicon granule & powder is widely used in the production of refractory materials and metallurgical applications due to its high temperature resistance, wear resistance, and oxidation resistance. Some examples of its application are furnace walls, kilns, and kiln furniture.

2. In organic silicon chemical operations, granular & powder silicon metal is a basic material used in the synthesis of organic silicon products. It is often used to manufacture silicon monomers, silicone oils, and silicone rubber preservatives. As an additive, this product provides a significant increase in temperature resistance, electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, waterproofness, and many more highly valuable properties.

3. Some of the more valuable applications of silicone metal involve using silicon wafers to produce integrated circuits and other electronics components. The granule & powder undergoes a drawing process, turning it into monocrystalline silicon wafers. High-tech industries are essentially driven by silicon.

4. In the metallurgical casting industry, industrial silicon metal is an additive for nonferrous alloys and alloying agents in silicon steel in order to greatly enhance the hardness of the finished steel products. Silicon granules are also used as a metal reducing agent for modern ceramic alloys, providing additional hardness and heat resistance.
