Silicon powder: enhancing the performance of your products

Silicon Metal is typically produced in a size of 0-100 mm, but for most applications further size reduction is required. The optimum particle size depends strongly on the final application. That means in many cases, some optimization work is required to find the most cost competitive solution. Silicon metal powder is produced by crushing, milling and classifying silicon material to obtain the required particle size.

Silicon Metal powder can be produced with a top cut for customers that only need to control the amount of coarse particles. It can also be produced with a top and bottom cut for customers that need to control both the amount of coarse and fine particles. The shape of the particles can also, to some extent, be altered by the technology used at the micronizing stage. Contamination free micronizing is also possible for customers that cannot accept any at all contamination from the milling media.

Micronized silicon with top cut can be supplied with a top cut of 6 microns and up. Silicon with bottom and top cut can be supplied with a bottom cut of very few microns and up. The cost will depend largely on production speed and yield.
