Because there is little natural silicon metal, most of the silicon metal in our life is manufactured by human. Silicon metal has a strong hardness and can be used as an important abrasive. But different from other common abrasives, metal silicon has many aspects of performance, can be used in various fields, it has high temperature resistance, thermal conductivity, conductivity and so on. The following is to introduce the properties and basic structure of silicon metal.

Because of its high temperature resistance and thermal conductivity, metallic silicon has become one of the preferred kiln furniture materials for tunnel kiln or shuttle kiln, and its electrical conductivity makes it an important electric heating element.

Silicon metal is a typical stable compound with covalent bond. Theoretically, silicon metal is made of SiC tetrahedron, but the difference is only parallel bonding or antiparallel bonding. There are 75 varieties of SiC, all of which can be divided into square, hexagonal and rhombic crystal systems. α - SiC is stable at high temperature and β - SiC is stable at low temperature. β - SiC can be transformed into α - SiC at 2100 ~ 2400 ℃, and β - SiC can be prepared from simple mixture of silicon and carbon at about 1450 ℃. Hanxinzun Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction can be used to analyze and quantify the polymorphs of SiC. In order to distinguish different structures, it is necessary to have corresponding naming methods. The common naming method is: the low-temperature type of cubic metallic silicon is called β - SiC, while the other hexagonal and rhombic cell structures are all called α - SiC. This method of nomenclature is not consistent with the phase Law Convention and mineralogical nomenclature, but it is quite popular because of its convenience.

The above is the description of the properties and basic structure of silicon metal. Shandong Hanxinzun New Material Co., Ltd. produces silicon metal in large quantities.
