DESCRIPTION
Silicon metal powder has a variety of applications, including:
- Semiconductors: Silicon metal powder is used to produce high-purity silicon wafers, which are used in the production of integrated circuits and other electronic components.
- Solar cells: Silicon metal powder is used as a raw material in the production of photovoltaic cells for solar panels.
- Alloys: Silicon metal powder is used as an alloying agent in the production of aluminum alloys, cast iron, and other metals.
- Refractories: Silicon metal powder is used as a raw material in the production of refractory materials, which are used to line high-temperature furnaces and kilns.
Silicon metal powder is typically supplied in small containers or bags, and its properties can vary depending on the specific manufacturing process used to produce it.
