The mainstream ex-factory price for 75 ferrosilicon in Shaanxi ranges from 5,600 to 5,700 yuan/mt. Supply and Demand Recently, some dolomite mines in the Wutai region of Shanxi have remained suspended, while prices for dolomite ore in other Wutai areas have not seen significant adjustments, with prices holding steady. Yesterday, the ferrosilicon futures market displayed a volatile and pulling-back trend. The most-traded contract fluctuated at the opening and slightly pulled back towards the close. In the spot ferrosilicon market, the supply-strong and demand-weak pattern is unlikely to reverse in the short term, and ferrosilicon prices are expected to remain volatile.   Magnesium Ingot Prices Today, the transaction price for magnesium ingots in the Fugu region ranges from 15,900 to 16,000 yuan/mt, a decrease of 50 yuan from the previous working day. The China FOB price is reported at $2,200-2,280/mt. Supply and Demand With ex-factory prices in the Fugu region falling below 16,000 yuan/mt, producers, though aiming to stabilize prices, are constrained by weak demand. Although inventory levels are low, they remain sufficient. Additionally, production resumptions by some enterprises in July will bring new supply. The international FOB price spread is significant, with European summer breaks leading to reduced procurement. The Asian market, primarily driven by alloy demand, is experiencing significant price pressure. Overall, domestic rigid demand remains stable, but the reduction in global orders has intensified export competition. Coupled with the approaching summer break and expectations of production resumptions, the market is expected to remain in the doldrums amid the tug-of-war between supply and demand.   Magnesium Alloy Prices The mainstream tax-included ex-factory price for magnesium alloy in China ranges from 17,500 to 17,600 yuan/mt, and the mainstream FOB price for magnesium alloy in China is $2,450/mt. Supply and Demand With the continuous decline in the price of magnesium ingot raw materials, influenced by the sentiment of “rushing to buy amid continuous price rise and holding back amid price downturn,” die-casting plants and 3C customers are adopting a wait-and-see attitude, entering the market to purchase on a need-by-need basis, resulting in lackluster transactions. Considering that the price of magnesium ingot raw materials is expected to continue declining in the short term, magnesium alloy prices are anticipated to follow the weak trend of magnesium ingot prices.   Magnesium Powder Prices The mainstream tax-included ex-factory price for 20-80 mesh magnesium powder in China ranges from 17,200 to 17,400 yuan/mt, and the mainstream FOB price for magnesium powder in China is $2,380-2,450/mt.

The mainstream quotations for spot 99.90% magnesium ingot in the Shaanxi market were in the range of 16,300-16,400 yuan/mt, up 300 yuan/mt from the morning quotations. SMM, June 11: Today, domestic magnesium prices bottomed out and rebounded. The mainstream quotations for spot 99.90% magnesium ingot in the Shaanxi market ranged from 16,300 to 16,400 yuan/mt, up 300 yuan/mt from the morning quotations. Today, the magnesium market showed signs of recovery, with the market quotation for 99.90% magnesium ingot in the Fugu area rebounding to 16,400 yuan/mt. Market confidence has significantly improved compared to the previous period. According to feedback from traders, as magnesium prices bottomed out and rebounded, downstream inquiry activity increased significantly. Some on-the-sidelines end-users gradually entered the market for procurement. Magnesium plants took advantage of the situation to refuse to budge on prices and push them up, driving market prices to rise steadily. However, some purchasing companies remain cautious about the current price rally, believing that the supply surplus pressure brought about by the upcoming production resumptions of magnesium ingot producers has not yet been effectively alleviated, and magnesium prices still face significant operational pressure from fundamental factors. According to SMM’s latest analysis, the current process of production resumptions among magnesium smelters continues to advance, and the surplus pressure on the supply side remains unresolved. Coupled with the weakening downstream end-use demand being transmitted upstream along the industry chain, the volume of magnesium ingot purchase orders has significantly decreased, resulting in a lack of follow-through growth momentum for this round of magnesium price rebounds. Overall, it is expected that magnesium ingot prices will gradually enter a phase of stable pricing in the short term. SMM will continue to monitor market transaction dynamics and changes in the supply-demand pattern.   Contant Long Silicon Our company was founded in 2006 with a registered capital of 5 million CNY.

Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Silicon (Si) are both materials used in electronics, but they have different properties that make them suitable for different applications, particularly when it comes to thermal management. Here’s a detailed comparison of SiC and Si in terms of thermal management: Thermal Conductivity – Silicon Carbide (SiC): SiC has a significantly higher thermal conductivity compared to Silicon. The thermal conductivity of SiC can be as high as 490 W/(m·K) , which makes it highly effective in dissipating heat. This property is crucial for high-power electronic devices that generate a lot of heat during operation. The high thermal conductivity of SiC allows for better heat spreading and faster heat removal from the device, which is essential for maintaining the device’s performance and reliability. – Silicon (Si): Traditional Silicon has a lower thermal conductivity, typically around 150 W/(m·K). This lower thermal conductivity means that Silicon is less effective at dissipating heat compared to SiC. In high-power applications, this can lead to increased temperatures within the device, which may require additional cooling solutions to maintain optimal operating conditions. High-Temperature Operation – Silicon Carbide (SiC): SiC devices can operate at much higher temperatures than their Silicon counterparts. SiC MOSFETs, for example, can function at temperatures above 200°C , which is significantly higher than the typical 150°C limit for Silicon-based devices. This high-temperature capability reduces the need for complex cooling systems and allows for more compact and efficient designs. – Silicon (Si): Silicon-based devices are generally limited to operating temperatures below 150°C. Beyond this temperature, the performance of Silicon devices can degrade, and they may require additional thermal management solutions such as heat sinks or cooling systems to prevent overheating. Thermal Stability – Silicon Carbide (SiC): SiC exhibits excellent thermal stability, which is vital for applications that involve rapid temperature changes or sustained high-temperature operation. SiC’s high thermal shock resistance and superior oxidation resistance make it suitable for ultra-high-temperature ceramics and semiconductor applications . – Silicon (Si): While Silicon is thermally stable within its operating range, it does not match the high-temperature stability of SiC. Silicon devices are more susceptible to thermal degradation at elevated temperatures, which can limit their lifespan and reliability in high-temperature environments. Thermal Runaway Resistance – Silicon Carbide (SiC): SiC MOSFETs are more resistant to thermal runaway compared to Silicon IGBTs. This resistance is due to SiC’s higher thermal conductivity, which allows for better heat dissipation and stable operating temperatures, especially in high current, voltage, and operating conditions common in electric vehicles or manufacturing . – Silicon (Si): Silicon IGBTs are more prone to thermal runaway, especially under high current and voltage conditions. This can lead to device failure if not properly managed with adequate cooling solutions. Efficiency and Power Loss – Silicon Carbide (SiC): SiC devices can switch at nearly ten times the rate of Silicon, resulting in smaller control circuitry and less energy loss during operation . This high switching speed and low power loss make SiC nearly ten times more efficient at higher voltages than Silicon, which is particularly beneficial in high-power applications. – Silicon (Si): Silicon devices typically have higher power losses, especially at high switching speeds and voltages. This can lead to increased heat generation, which requires more robust thermal management solutions to maintain device performance. System Size and Cost – Silicon Carbide (SiC): The thermal management advantages of SiC can lead to a reduction in system size and potentially system cost. SiC MOSFETs can eliminate the need for additional cooling systems, which can reduce the overall system size and cost, especially in applications like automotive and industrial where space and weight are critical . – Silicon (Si): Silicon-based systems often require additional cooling solutions to manage heat, which can increase the overall system size and cost. The need for heat sinks, fans, or liquid cooling systems can add complexity and expense to the design. Examples and Applications – Silicon Carbide (SiC): SiC is used in high-power applications such as electric vehicle power electronics, solar inverters, and high-frequency telecommunications equipment. For example, SiC power modules are being developed with advanced cooling technologies to handle the thermal challenges of high-power operations . SiC’s ability to operate at higher temperatures and its high thermal conductivity make it ideal for these demanding applications. – Silicon (Si): Silicon is widely used in consumer electronics, where the heat generation is typically lower, and the operating temperatures are within the capabilities of the material. However, in high-power applications, Silicon’s lower thermal conductivity and temperature limits can be a bottleneck, requiring additional thermal management strategies. Summary In summary, SiC offers significant advantages over Silicon in terms of thermal management due to its higher thermal conductivity, ability to operate at higher temperatures, superior thermal stability, and resistance to thermal runaway. These properties make SiC an attractive material for high-power, high-temperature, and high-frequency applications where efficient thermal management is critical. Silicon, while a mature and well-understood material, faces challenges in thermal management that can limit its performance in high-power applications. The choice between SiC and Silicon for a particular application will depend on the specific requirements for power handling, operating temperature, efficiency, and cost.   Contant Long Silicon Our company was founded in 2006 with a registered capital of 5 million CNY.

Ferro silicon is used as an essential alloy in the production of steel and cast iron. Ferrosilicon is used to remove oxygen from steel or as an alloying element to improve the final quality of the steel. Ferro silicon can also be used as a basis for the manufacture of prealloys such as fermium. For the modification of melted malleable cast iron. The main markets are alloys, stainless steel and carbon steel. One of the fastest growing categories of steel is in the stainless steel sector, including flat and long products. Its specific ferrosilicon consumption is 510 times higher than that of ordinary carbon steel. Special ferrosilicon grades such as low aluminum, high purity and low carbon iron silicon. Can be used to produce special steel. Compared with ordinary ferrosilicon, it helps to maintain the content of inclusions, and the carbon content in the final steel is very low. Ferro silicon is a common additive in steel smelting. It is also a deoxygenated product. In fact, there are many kinds of deoxidizers in steel smelting. Most of them use the affinity between silicon and oxygen. Therefore, most of the deoxidizer contains silicon. In ferrosilicon, the silicon content is between 65-80%. At the same time, the content of aluminum and sulfur is also very important. Because it has a greater impact on different processes and requirements. Typically the aluminum content is between 0.1 and 6% and the sulfur content is between 0.03 and 0.05. All the above indicators can be controlled in the production process of our factory. Products can be customized according to user requirements
