Che cos'è il carburo di silicio?

Il carburo di silicio, più comunemente chiamato carborundum, è un composto chimico estremamente duro con proprietà sia metalliche che isolanti a diverse temperature. Viene utilizzato nelle applicazioni industriali che richiedono applicazioni di lunga durata. Il SiC verde è un materiale ceramico estremamente duro e resistente alla corrosione sintetizzato per la prima volta da Edward Acheson nel 1891 attraverso il riscaldamento combinato di ...

Silicon Carbide Abrasive

Silicon carbide, more commonly referred to as corundum, is an extremely hard abrasive material used for grinding and polishing metal specimens. SBM is more cost-effective than diamond and cubic boron nitride, yet maintains higher strength at elevated temperatures than many ceramic materials. Available in various grit sizes from coarse to fine, making it suitable for …

Silicon Carbide Diamond

Silicon carbide diamond is an exceptional material with exceptional wear resistance that is particularly appealing for applications involving wear resistance. Production can take place without pressure by infiltrating porous carbon bonded diamond preforms with liquid silicon. The infiltration process results in the formation of a dense graphitic layer at the diamond/silicon interface that offers exceptional …
