Overview of Silicide Powder
Metallic silicide powder is a ceramic material with excellent heat resistance and oxidation resistance. Even at high temperatures, silicide powders can maintain good oxidation resistance by forming a protective film on the surface.
Silicide powder has metallic luster, hard and high melting point. A metal or non-metal can generate a variety of silicides. Metal silicides are widely used for their excellent high temperature oxidation resistance, electrical conductivity and heat transfer.

5 FAQs of Silicide Powder
What is silicide powder used for?
Silicide powders are primarily used in the semiconductor industry for forming metal-semiconductor contacts with low electrical resistance. They're also utilized in the production of solar cells, as well as in various high-temperature applications due to their stability.
How is silicide powder produced?
Silicide powders are usually produced through the reaction of silicon with metals like titanium, nickel, or cobalt at high temperatures. The process can be tailored depending on the desired purity and particle size distribution.
Is silicide powder hazardous?
While not typically hazardous under normal conditions, handling should be done with care. Inhalation of dust particles should be avoided, and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) should be worn during handling.
Can silicide powder be customized for specific applications?
Yes, silicide powders can be produced with custom specifications regarding purity, particle size, and other physical properties to meet the requirements of specific applications.
What affects the price of silicide powder?
Price variations are mainly influenced by factors such as purity level, particle size, quantity ordered, and specific application requirements. Higher purity levels and more stringent specifications generally lead to higher costs.
