Silicon

Silicon has a high melting point and hardness, and its chemical properties are relatively stable. Under high-temperature conditions, it can react chemically with certain substances. In the metallurgical industry, silicon can be used as a deoxidizer and alloy additive to produce various steels and non-ferrous metal alloys, enhancing the strength and toughness of the materials.
Specifications and dimensions: Processing can be customized based on drawings or samples.
