Silicon metal is a type of alloying agent, which due to its unique capabilities makes it stronger metals such as aluminum. In the industry, silicon metal is also known as silicone. It was first produced in 1960.
Silicon is a non-metallic element that is gray and very crisp and fragile. This metal has a lot of hardness. In terms of mass, silicon accounts for about 27.7% of the earth's total mass and is also the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Silicon can be found mostly in the form of combined silicate and silicon dioxide minerals.
Silicon metal can be divided into different types of 553, 441, 421, 3303, 3305, 2202, 2502, 1501 and 1101 according to the amount of iron, aluminum and calism, but the most widely used type of silicon metal is type 441.
Industrial silicon is a type of silicon that is added to them in order to strengthen the special properties of various metals such as iron and aluminum. Industrial silicon as a redundant for aluminum in the automotive industry especially the most used, so the price of industrial silicon has a significant impact on the price of cars and motorcycles.
Industrial silicon can be converted into single crystal silicon by performing operations on their compounds and it can be used in the electronics industry and chemical industry.
silicon metal metallurgy is an alloy material used in the aluminum industry. The addition of this material to aluminum makes the aluminum metal light and at the same time its strength increases dramatically. This lightening of aluminum metal makes it used in the aircraft manufacturing industry. Also, the addition of this material to silicon metal makes it possible to use lighter weight parts in exchange for heavy cast iron parts in various industries.
1.Production of rubber parts
2.Various food additives
3.Types of cosmetics
4.Production of lubricants
5.Making a variety of strong adhesives
6.Manufacturing a variety of micro processors
7.Wide use in the automotive industry
The addition of silicon to steel causes the magnetic permeability of steel to increase dramatically and therefore reduce magnetic waste. Due to this property, silicon-mixed steel is used to make iron cores for transformers and motors. It is also used to make a variety of steel sheets and steel rods with magnetic properties.
1.Use in aluminum alloy
2.Use in metal products with cold rolling method
3.Production of semiconductor products with high purity percentage
4.Production of silicone oil
5.Production of heat-resistant products
