Silicon aluminum alloy is a type of silicon alloy that contains a large amount of metallic silicon. Silicon aluminum alloy is a strong composite deoxidizer. Replacing pure aluminum in the steelmaking process can improve the utilization rate of deoxidizers, purify molten steel, and improve the quality of steel. 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 strength, high pressure density, and can greatly improve their service life. It is often used to produce aerospace and automotive components.
Silicon copper alloy has good welding performance and is less prone to sparks when subjected to impact. It has explosion-proof function and can be used to make storage tanks.
Adding silicon to steel to make silicon steel sheets can greatly improve the magnetic permeability of steel, reduce hysteresis and eddy current losses, and can be used to manufacture iron cores for transformers and motors, thereby improving the performance of transformers and motors
