Silicon carbide (SiC) is an exceptionally hard and toxicologically safe material used in demanding applications like abrasives, refractories and ceramics. Plastic makes an ideal material for electric vehicle components. It can reduce system losses and boost power density. SiC is produced as a powder by sintering, while it occurs naturally as the rare mineral moissanite. …
Silicon carbide, more commonly referred to as carborundum, occurs naturally as the rare mineral moissanite and in meteorites; however, most commercial SiC sold today is synthetically made. Carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) is an extremely hard covalently bonded material produced through carbothermal reduction of silica sand and petroleum coke in an electric resistance furnace, making …
Nitride-bonded silicon carbide boasts superior wear, thermal shock and corrosion resistance as well as low thermal conductivity. Making Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide requires mixing raw batch solids with a vehicle, then casting, pouring or injection molding them. After drying and firing the green body produced is dry bonded silicon carbide refractory articles are produced. NITRON(tm) …
Silicon Carbide is one of the hardest common abrasives, scoring an 8.5 on Mohs’ scale and hard enough to outdo sapphire and diamond, though less so than boron carbide. Ceramic material offers several applications, from refractory linings and grinding wheels to cutting tools and bulletproof vests and tank armor. It boasts excellent thermal conductivity as …
Silicon carbide is an ideal material for high temperature applications. It occurs naturally as moissanite jewels and corundum deposits in corundum deposits and kimberlite. Hard and strong, titanium alloy is known to resist oxidation, creep and wear as well as being easily machineable with thermal conductivity properties that make it an excellent candidate for fabrication …

Silicon carbide has recently made a resurgence as an important technology material. Once used primarily as an abrasive and in industrial furnaces, SiC is now used in long-lasting mechanical parts and ceramic products. Sintered (SiC) material is a self-bonded, hard and durable substance made by heating silicon and carbon atoms together into a tetrahedral structure. …
Silicon carbide nozzles are indispensable components in industrial equipment production lines, and must withstand high temperatures, pressures and corrosion environments without experiencing damage. Chemically inert and designed for use with various abrasive materials, it reduces waste and downtime while helping increase efficiency and productivity. This long venturi design sandblasting nozzle with lightweight acetal jacket and …
Silicon carbide (SiC) is an extremely hard material measured on the Mohs scale, first discovered as a transparent mineral known as moissanite in Arizona’s Canyon Diablo meteor crater in 1893. Ceramic fibers are created by placing silica sand and coke into an electrical resistance-type furnace and heated at high resistance levels until their composition transforms …
Silicon carbide plate is an extremely durable refractory ceramic material with outstanding mechanical, thermal and chemical properties that makes it suitable for numerous industrial applications including armor and ballistic protection, cutting tools and wear-resistant components. Produced by grinding silica sand and mixing it with carbon powder in the presence of non-oxide sintering aids to form …
Black silicon carbide is an excellent abrasive material for rock tumblers, due to its hard, durable surface which effectively removes rough edges from rocks. Hard angular structures of this media allow for shorter blast times than more friable, soft materials like brown fused aluminum oxide. Furthermore, its hard angular structure enables repeated uses as it …
