Silicon carbide, commonly referred to as SiC, is a black or dark green crystalline material which can either be synthesized in a laboratory setting, or found naturally as the rare mineral moissanite. Ceramic materials rank among the lightest, hardest, and strongest advanced ceramic materials available today. Their resistance to physical wear, corrosion, thermal expansion and contraction is unparalleled and offer unique electrical properties as well. Physical Properties Silicon carbide (SiC) is an extremely hard and brittle material found both naturally in nature as the mineral moissanite as well as industrially for use as an abrasive and semiconductor. Due to its unique combination of physical properties, SiC has long been sought-after …
