Do you know the source of the name silicon powder?

Before introducing the source of the name of silicon micropowder, you must first know what is silicon micropowder, which is made of natural quartz (SiO2) or fused silica (natural quartz is amorphous SiO2 after high temperature melting and cooling) through crushing, ball milling (or vibration, airflow milling), flotation, acid cleaning purification, high-purity water treatment and other processes. Silicon micro powder is pure white, with angular or spherical particles, extremely fine, and the smallest particle is about 0.5 μ m. It is a non-toxic, odorless, and pollution-free inorganic non-metallic material. Due to its excellent properties such as good temperature resistance, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, poor thermal conductivity, high insulation, low expansion, stable chemical performance, and high hardness, it is widely used in fields such as chemical engineering, electronics, integrated circuits (ICs), electrical appliances, plastics, coatings, advanced paints, rubber, and national defense. With the rapid development of high-tech fields, silicon micro powder will also enter a new historical development period.
