Silicon Metal

Details information

It has high melting point, good heat resistance, high resistivity and high oxidation resistance

Industrial silicon (also named silicon metal), is silver gray or dark gray with metallic luster.Featured by high fusing point, good heat-resistance, high resistivity and high antioxidation, it is well known as “industrial monosodium glutamate” and an indispensable raw material in hi-tech industry.

Applications:

    While roughly ten million metric tonnes of ferrosilicon and silicon metal are refined each year, the majority of silicon used commercially is actually in the form of silicon minerals, which are used in the manufacture of everything from cement, mortars, and ceramics, to glass and polymers.

Ferrosilicon, as noted, is the most commonly used form of metallic silicon. Since its first use around 150 years ago, ferrosilicon has remained an important deoxidizing agent in the production of carbon and stainless steel. Today, steel smelting remains the largest consumer of ferrosilicon.

Ferrosilicon has a number of uses beyond steelmaking, though. It is a pre-alloy in the production of magnesium ferrosilicon, a nodulizer used to produce ductile iron, as well as during the Pidgeon process for refining high purity magnesium. Ferrosilicon can also be used to make heat and corrosion resistant ferrous silicon alloys as well as silicon steel, which is used in the manufacture of electro-motors and transformer cores.

Metallurgical silicon can be used in steelmaking as well as an alloying agent in aluminum casting. Aluminum-silicon (Al-Si) car parts are lightweight and stronger than components cast from pure aluminum. Automotive parts such as engine blocks and tire rims are some of the most commonly cast aluminum silicon parts.

Nearly half of all metallurgical silicon is used by the chemical industry to make fumed silica (a thickening agent and desiccant), silanes (a coupling agent) and silicone (sealants, adhesives, and lubricants). Photovoltaic grade polysilicon is primarily used in the making of polysilicon solar cells. About five tons of polysilicon is needed to make one megawatt of solar modules.

Currently, polysilicon solar technology accounts for more than half of the solar energy produced globally, while monosilicon technology contributes approximately 35 percent. In total, 90 percent of the solar energy used by humans is collected by silicon-based technology.

Monocrystal silicon is also a critical semiconductor material found in modern electronics. As a substrate material used in the production of field effect transistors (FETs), LEDs and integrated circuits, silicon can be found in virtually all computers, mobile phones, tablets, televisions, radios and other modern communication devices. It is estimated that more than one-third of all electronic devices contain silicon-based semiconductor technology.

Finally, the hard alloy silicon carbide is used in a variety of electronic and non-electronic applications, including synthetic jewelry, high-temperature semiconductors, hard ceramics, cutting tools, brake discs, abrasives, bulletproof vests and heating elements.
