DESCRIPTION
Silicon metal powder is a fine-grained powder made up of elemental silicon. It is a key material in the production of silicones, alloys, and semiconductors. The powder is usually produced by the reduction of silicon dioxide with carbon in an electric furnace.
Silicon metal powder is a highly reactive material that can ignite spontaneously in air, so it must be handled with care. It is also a hazardous material that can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system if proper precautions are not taken.
In industrial applications, silicon metal powder is used as an alloying agent in the production of aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, and other metals. It is also used as a raw material in the production of silicones, which are used in a wide range of products, including sealants, adhesives, lubricants, and electrical insulators.
In addition, silicon metal powder is used in the production of semiconductors, where it is used to make wafers and chips for electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, and other digital devices. Its high thermal conductivity and low electrical resistance make it an ideal material for this application.
