Can a fast recovery diode be used as a rectifier diode?

The rectifier circuit because the frequency is very low, so only for the withstand voltage has requirements, as long as the withstand voltage can be met, it can definitely be replaced, and the fast recovery diode is also used for rectification, that is, in the switching power supply secondary rectifier part, due to the high frequency, only the fast recovery diode rectification, otherwise due to the diode loss is too large will cause the overall efficiency of the power supply to decrease, serious will burn the diode. In addition, the price of fast recovery diode is much more expensive than rectifier diodes, and the higher the withstand voltage, the more expensive, so it is generally not used by fast recovery second-generation tubes. Of course, if you only have a fast recovery diode on hand and no general rectifier tube, you can use it as you want, as long as the withstand voltage is sufficient
