Silicon carbide (SiC) is an extremely durable non-oxide ceramic with outstanding thermal, mechanical and electrical properties. While SiC does not occur naturally in nature except as an extremely rare mineral moissanite, mass production started in 1891 by Pennsylvania inventor Edward G. Acheson. Hard as steel with a Mohs scale rating of 9 and sitting just …
Silicon carbide abrasives are hard, sharp abrasives that work effectively on metal, stone and wood finishes. Popular use cases include coarse grade stock removal and rough sanding operations. POWERTEC’s premium black silicon carbide sanding belts feature a closed coat for optimal grain coverage, making them an excellent choice for use on harder materials. Microfractures occur …
Silicon Carbide (SiC), commonly referred to as carborundum, is an extremely hard and durable ceramic material with low thermal expansion rates and great acid/lye resistance. Asbestos occurs as yellow to green to bluish black iridescent crystals that, when inhaled, may produce sustained nodular fibrosing alveolitis similar to that caused by crocidolite asbestos. Density Silicon carbide …
Silicon carbide (SiC) is an extremely hard synthetic crystalline compound of silicon and carbon that has been produced commercially since the late 19th century as an industrial abrasive and now finds widespread application as a high-performance ceramic application material. Moissanite can be found naturally in very limited quantities as a mineral and can be mined …
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a solid industrial mineral crystal with ceramic and semiconductor properties. It can be colored using various impurities like nitrogen and aluminium. Silicon carbide is an ideal material for high-resolution astronomical telescope mirrors. Furthermore, silicon carbide is also utilized in power diodes, power transistors, and high-power microwave devices. High-voltage applications Silicon carbide …

Silicon carbide (formerly Carborundum) has become increasingly important for use in power electronics applications, particularly with Schottky barrier diodes. SiC Schottky diodes consist of a metal-semiconductor junction where only electrons flow, rather than holes as in traditional PN junction diodes. These devices feature rapid recovery times that enable smaller magnetic and passive components to be …

Les modules de puissance en carbure de silicium (SiC) offrent de nouvelles solutions révolutionnaires pour les applications de puissance, avec une plus grande efficacité du système en termes de taille, de poids et de facteur de forme. Leurs températures de fonctionnement plus élevées, leurs fréquences de commutation plus rapides et leurs magnétiques plus petits réduisent considérablement les coûts des systèmes. Vincotech relève ce défi grâce à une technologie avancée de fixation à la matrice permettant d'atténuer les propriétés mécaniques du SiC qui ...
Silicon carbide sanding discs offer fine finishes on woodworking projects thanks to their durable yet effective abrasive properties, with minimal grit degradation over time compared to aluminum oxide sandpapers. Selecting an abrasive for your task depends on its requirements and material properties, which include price-efficiency, versatility and aggressive cutting power – qualities silicon carbide sandpaper …
Silicon carbide, more commonly referred to as carborundum, offers superior heat resistance and maintains high mechanical strength at temperatures reaching 1400degC. Furthermore, its extreme hardness, fatigue resistance and chemical stability in aggressive environments are hallmarks of excellence for any material. SiC was first synthesized artificially in 1891 by Edward Acheson when he discovered small black …
Coherent has announced that Japan-based DENSO and Mitsubishi Electric will jointly invest $1 billion into its SiC substrate business, creating a subsidiary offering 150 mm and 200 mm SiC substrates as well as epitaxial wafers. SiC is an attractive material for power semiconductors as it can reduce power loss while operating at higher temperatures than …
