1. In the aluminum alloy industry, replacing pure aluminum in the steelmaking process can increase the utilization rate of deoxidizers, purify molten steel, and improve the quality of steel. The demand for industrial silicon for aluminum used in automobiles and other industries is quite large, so the development of the automobile industry in a region or country has a direct impact on the rise and fall of the industrial silicon market.
2. Additives for non-ferrous-based alloys. Industrial silicon is also used as an alloying agent for demanding silicon steels, and as a deoxidizer for smelting special steels and non-ferrous-based alloys.
3. In the chemical industry, it is used to produce silicone rubber, silicone resin, silicone oil and other organic silicon. Silicone rubber has good elasticity and high temperature resistance. It is used to make medical supplies and high temperature gaskets. Silicone resin is used to produce insulating paint, high-temperature paint, etc. Silicone oil is an oily substance whose viscosity is not affected by temperature. It is used to produce lubricants, polishes, fluid springs, dielectric liquids, etc. It can also be processed into colorless and transparent liquids.
4. Industrial silicon is purified by a series of processes to produce polycrystalline silicon and monocrystalline silicon for use in the photovoltaic industry and the electronics industry. Crystalline silicon cells are mainly used in solar rooftop power stations, commercial power stations and urban power stations with high land costs. They are currently mature solar photovoltaic products with a wide range of applications, and their demand for metallic silicon has increased significantly. Modern large-scale integrated circuits are almost all made of high-purity metal silicon, and high-purity metal silicon is still the main raw material for the production of optical fibers. It can be said that metal silicon has become a basic pillar industry in the information age.
The above is the application field of silicon metal shared by hensfate metal in detail. I hope it can be helpful to you. For more information about silicon metal, please feel free to consult us.
