Silicon Carbide Company

SiC is being rapidly adopted in electric vehicle adoption, prompting increased demand. SiC allows higher efficiency inverter systems to increase range while decreasing size and weight of power conversion modules and systems.

Companies are engaging in organic and inorganic growth strategies such as product launches, agreements, contracts, collaborations, expansions and acquisitions as part of their growth strategies. Wolfspeed recently opened a Mohawk Valley silicon carbide fabrication facility in Marcy, New York equipped with state-of-the-art 200mm wafer fabrication to assist with transition from silicon devices to SiC devices.

Abrasive

Silicon carbide (SiC), famous for its hardness and sharpness, is used in manufacturing abrasive products for numerous uses. Common applications for SiC include grinding wheels and cutting disks as well as polishing soft metals like zinc alloys and copper alloys. Furthermore, SiC offers excellent thermal conductivity making it suitable for high temperature environments.

Silicon carbide can be manufactured in various forms, from powder to grit and coatings for metal surfaces to create durable coatings that improve durability and lifespan. Refractory materials made up of silicon carbide are often employed as furnace linings and kiln furniture linings and furniture linings in high temperature applications like furnace linings.

Electronic capacitors are integral parts of power electronics devices such as inverters for electric vehicles. Their ability to withstand higher voltages while offering greater efficiencies helps extend driving ranges while also decreasing inverter size allowing more space and weight savings for battery systems.

Black silicon carbide is a common form of silicon carbide produced in electric internal resistance furnaces from silica sand and petroleum coke. Depending on its use, black or green silicon carbide powder may be supplied depending on the application; both varieties offer very high abrasive grades with the former more suitable for general grinding use than its counterpart. Green products have higher purity levels making them suitable for specialty grinding applications.

Black silicon carbide and Premasol abrasives are widely recognized for their exceptional hardness, which ensures long-term performance in harsh industrial environments. Their extreme hardness enables the abrasives to easily cut and grind both hard and soft materials with minimal force; making them suitable for applications including blasting, deburring and cleaning, surface treatment applications such as de-burring parts prior to coating, mild pressure sanding marble, glass, stone and cork under mild pressure; they may even be wet lapping gears or metals depending on application. Surface Finishing Company is a premier distributor of both black and green silicon carbide along with conventional abrasives in stock at all times!

Metal Finishing

Metal taken directly out of the ground can be hard and inedible, rendering it completely ineligible for its intended uses. To make metal useful for specific tasks, however, it must first be polished, finished, and processed through various processes in order to reduce wear while increasing durability, chemical resistance, electrical conductivity and vulcanization as well as aesthetic appeal.

Metal finishing is an integral step in the production of all metal products, with processes such as grinding, lapping and blasting used to remove burrs, slag, scale or any other contaminants from the surface of metal products. These processes remove burrs, slag, scale or any other contaminants to produce smooth surfaces and thus reducing time and maintenance costs significantly. Metal finishing typically costs include water usage fees for coating application as well as energy expenses spent per coating type used, consumable costs such as consumables used during production as well as labor expenses and cleanup fees associated with finishing operations.

Silicon carbide companies provide an extensive array of products for metal finishing applications, from blasting media and surface prep material, to multiple sizes of media and customized packages that meet customer requirements for blasting and surface preparation applications. Silicon carbide companies strive to meet customers’ individual requirements when it comes to metal finishing applications.

Silicon carbide has seen rapid growth in automotive applications due to its ability to extend driving range and cut battery costs for electric vehicles, and is expected to remain at high demand as energy efficiency and environmental sustainability becomes ever more essential. A silicon carbide company offers various solutions tailored specifically to this industry such as high voltage MOSFETs for power management systems.
