Pyr will provide the drosite aluminum
and hpq will do the rest :)
i didnt know this application .


Silicon-based aluminum alloys are being increasing employed in automotive applications due to the need to reduce weight to decrease fuel consumption. Silicon and aluminum are alloyed together to form silumin. Depending on silicon content, the aluminum-silicon alloys are classified into different grades. In terms of volume, silicon content in silicon metal alloys varies from 3% to 50%. Addition of silicon metal to aluminum creates favorable properties such as high thermal conductivity, good castability, high corrosion resistance, and machinability. Silicon-based aluminum alloys are increasingly employed to replace heavy cast iron and steel components in the automotive industry. Increase in silicon content in aluminum silicon alloys improves wear-resistance in mild wear conditions. Silicon-based aluminum alloys have sufficient strength for structural durability, stability, and dent and crash resistance. Formability for bending, stretching, and deep drawing operations is increases.

The extreme nano material being produced by hpq will not be used in this existing market that is already well served.

Nano Silicon material from NSiR, no. Metallurgical Grade Silicon from QRR, Yes. Yes it will be extremely valuable and green for the silicon aluminum alloys industry.
