Embonini yensimbi yesimanjemanje, ukungezwa kwezinto ezenziwayo kubalulekile ukwenza ngcono ukusebenza kwensimbi. I-Chromium, njengento ebalulekile yezandiso, ingathuthukisa kakhulu ukumelana nokugqwala, ukugqoka kokuphefumula kanye nokusebenza okushisa okuphezulu kwensimbi. I-Low-Carbon Ferrochrome, ene-chromium ephezulu nekhabhoni ephansi, iqinisekisa okuqukethwe kwe-chromium futhi kulawula okuqukethwe yikhabhoni. Kuyinto esebenza ngempumelelo ye-alloy yensimbi engenacala, insimbi ye-alloy nensimbi ekhethekile.

I-Ferrosilicon Alloy yakhiwa ikakhulukazi i-iron ne-silicon, futhi okuqukethwe kwe-silicon kuvame phakathi kuka-15% no-90%, okuhlukahluka ngokusho kwezidingo ezihlukile zohlelo lokusebenza kanye nemininingwane ejwayelekile.

I-Nagadium Pentoxide iyi-oxide ye-vanadium ngefomula yamakhemikhali v₂o₅. Isakhiwo saso se-flakes singumphumela wokuhlelwa kwalo kwe-crystalline, enikeza indawo ephezulu yendawo, izakhiwo ezinhle kakhulu ze-redox, kanye nomsebenzi obalulekile we-catalytic.

I-Vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) ingenye yezinto ezisetshenziswa kakhulu ezinqubweni zezimboni, ikakhulukazi ekukhiqizeni i-sulfuric acid kanye nokusabela okuhlukahlukene kwe-oxidation. Izakhiwo zayo zamakhemikhali eziyingqayizivele, ukuzinza, namandla okwenza kube lula ukusabela kwe-redox kuyenza ibe ukukhetha okuhle kakhulu kwe-catalysis. Lesi sihloko sihlola izizathu zokusebenzisa i-V₂O₅ njenge-catalyst, izindlela zayo zokusebenza, ukusetshenziswa kwayo ezimbonini ezihlukahlukene, kanye nekusasa le-catalysis esekelwe ku-vanadium.

I-Silicon metal 553 iyingxubevange ye-silicon ehlanzekile esetshenziswa kabanzi emikhakheni eminingi yezimboni ngenxa yezakhiwo zayo ezihlukile zomzimba namakhemikhali. Ingxenye yayo eyinhloko yi-silicon engu-98.5%, enenani elincane lensimbi ne-aluminium, evumela i-silicon metal 553 ukugcina amandla amahle kakhulu nokumelana nokugqwala ezindaweni zokushisa eziphezulu. Lesi sihloko sizohlola ngokuningiliziwe ukusetshenziswa okuyinhloko kwe-silicon metal 553, kufaka phakathi ama-alloys e-aluminium, ama-semiconductors, izimboni ze-photovoltaic, nezimboni zamakhemikhali.

I-Silicon metal powder iwuhlobo oluhle, oluhlanzekile lwe-silicon olukhiqizwa ngokuncishiswa kwe-silica ezithandweni zikagesi ze-arc. Inokukhanya kwensimbi futhi itholakala ngosayizi abahlukahlukene bezinhlayiyana, okuyenza ifanele uhla lwezinhlelo zokusebenza. I-silicon iyisici sesibili esitholakala ngobuningi emhlabeni futhi isebenza njengempahla eluhlaza emikhakheni eminingi, ikakhulukazi kubuchwepheshe be-semiconductor, amandla elanga, kanye ne-metallurgy.
