Silicon Carbide Density and Applications
Silicon carbide, also referred to as carborundum, is a compound composed of pure silicon and carbon. This ceramic material possesses many useful properties including abrasive resistance, high temperature stability and wide band gap semiconductor capabilities. American Elements offers high purity, ACS Reagent Grade and Technical Grade SiC in standard and customized packaging options. Please reach out for more information! High Hardness Silicon carbide ranks among the hardest of ceramic materials. Furthermore, its hardness remains relatively unaffected at elevated temperatures – making it suitable for high-temperature applications like high-temperature heating elements in far-infrared generators and chemical reactors. Furthermore, silicon carbide resists wear from frictional forces well, making it suitable for mechanical …
