it conducts in only one direction. it can also be used as a switch and made to not conduct at all.
For the same reason that its used in transistors and resistors...Its a semiconductor.
silicon controlled rectifier is a 3 terminal 4 layer device which has 2 consecutive P N junctions here the three terminals called anode, cathode and gate gate controls the conduction of the scr but diode just conducts in forward bias and blocks in reverse bias
An SCR is a rectifier and can only conduct in one direction (half wave).A Triac can conduct in both directions (full wave).
It is a silicon-controlled rectifier, converting AC to DC for use in drawworks, mud pumps, etc.:silicon-controlled-rectifier
After triggering an SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) and removing the gate pulse, the SCR will continue to conduct current as long as the anode current remains above the holding current threshold. Once the current falls below this threshold, the SCR will turn off and stop conducting. This characteristic allows the SCR to be used in various applications, such as in power control and switching circuits.
An SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) acts like a switch when turned on. It can also be used as a rectifier.
such a control rectifier that control or rectifier single phase. for that purpose we used SCR that is called single phase controlled rectifier.

scr is a silicon control rectifier used to control the rectifing voltage.. its a bidirectional device can use it for both the directions......
A SCR's (Silicon Controller Rectifier) name hints at the answer. As a rectifier (diode) current can only pass in one direction. There are devices at can pass in both directions, and typically they are a pair of SCR's wired in opposite polarity.
An SCR, a silicon-controlled rectifier, is a four-layer solid state current controlling device. When it turns on it acts like an electronic switch and rectifier.
For the same reason that its used in transistors and resistors...Its a semiconductor.
And SCR will conduct appreciable current when it is gated "on" and thus "told" to conduct. A silicon controlled rectifier(SCR) is an electronically controlled DC switch, and the gate is the terminal to which the control voltage is applied. Use the link below to learn more.

It depends on the particular SCR. They make them in all different voltage ratings. Please specify the particular SCR you are interested in.
