Silicon carbide is an extremely hard and durable non-oxide ceramic, distinguished by its layered crystal structure containing four carbon and two silicon atoms in primary coordination tetrahedra. At least 70 different forms, or polytypes exist of silicon carbide. Modern applications of graphite include abrasive applications, melting furnace refractories and production lines for producing float glass production as well as various engineering components. It boasts excellent physical wear resistance, chemical resistance and low thermal expansion rates. High-Temperature Resistance Silicon carbide’s superior temperature resistance makes it suitable for many industrial applications that demand high operating temperatures, such as heating elements for electric furnaces or production of ceramics or non-ferrous metals. This compound’s …
