(1) The production of silicone rubber, silicone resin, silicone oil and other silicone
Silicone rubber has good elasticity and high temperature resistance. It is used for making medical supplies and high temperature resistance gaskets.
Silicone resin is used in the production of insulating paint, high temperature coatings, etc.
Silicone oil is a kind of oil, its viscosity is affected by temperature is very small, used for the production of advanced lubricant, glazing agent, fluid spring, dielectric liquid, etc., can also be processed into a colorless transparent liquid, as a senior waterproof agent spray on the surface of the building.
(2) Manufacture high-purity semiconductors
Modern large integrated circuits are almost made of high purity silicon metal, and high purity silicon metal is the main raw material for the production of optical fiber, it can be said that silicon metal has become the basic pillar industry of the information age.
(3) alloy preparation
Silicon aluminum alloy is the largest amount of silicon alloy. Silicon aluminum alloy is a kind of strong compound deoxidizer, which can improve the utilization rate of deoxidizer and purify liquid steel and improve the quality of steel in the process of steel making instead of pure aluminum. Silicon aluminum alloy has low density, low coefficient of thermal expansion, good casting performance and wear resistance. The alloy castings cast with it have high impact resistance and good high pressure compactness, which can greatly improve the service life. It is commonly used to produce aerospace aircraft and automobile parts.
Silicon copper alloy has good welding performance, and is not easy to produce sparks when impacted, with explosion-proof function, can be used to make storage tanks.
Adding silicon into steel to make silicon steel sheet, can greatly improve the magnetic conductivity of steel, reduce hysteresis and eddy current loss, can be used to manufacture transformer and motor core, improve the performance of transformer and motor.
With the development of science and technology, the application of silicon metal will be further expanded.
