Hot surface ignitors are replacing spark ignition in modern furnaces. Constructed of silicon carbide or silicon nitride with ceramic bases to encase wire connections, 120-volt hot surface ignitors create red-hot glow before arcing over to light the gas in combustion cycles. Engineers who designed these units had some important decisions regarding where the ignitor should …

Silicon carbide armor is commonly used to defend military and law enforcement personnel against bullets or other high-velocity projectiles, providing crucial protection. It absorbs and dissipates impact energy to help prevent injuries or deaths during high velocity impacts. Material used in this defense solution is proven effective against armor-piercing rounds and high velocity fragments, and …
Silicon carbide electrical conductivity is an indispensable quality in modern high-tech applications, helping drive performance and reliability without degrading function or safety. Thanks to its chemical resistance properties, silicon carbide can operate under extreme conditions without degradation that compromises function or safety. Doping can alter the electrical conductivity of SiC by adding impurities known as …
Silicon carbide X4 features high hardness and rigidity, making it suitable for use as a grit in sandpaper or sharpening knives, while being easier to work with than steels that contain Vanadium such as S90V. Conventional computer chips are manufactured by using cooling techniques to solidify pure silicon molten. Unfortunately, this process can sometimes result …
Silicon carbide MOSFETs (also referred to as SiC MOSFETs) provide significant performance advantages over their silicon counterparts, including faster switching speeds for power conversion circuits; improved reliability by eliminating voltage spikes; lower power losses in components like inductors, capacitors & filters; and smaller designs. SiC is known for its wide bandgap, making it suitable for …
Fuji provides an impressive array of silicon carbide (SiC) guides. These rings are extremely hard and smooth, helping reduce friction that could otherwise damage rod guides. Ceramic inserts also stand up well against the abrasiveness of modern braided lines, while remaining cost-effective enough for use on high-end brand name spinning or casting rods. However, due …
Silicon carbide has been used as an excellent abrasive material for more than 100 years, boasting corrosion-resistant properties and high temperature tolerance. Pure monocrystal SiC has an average room-temperature thermal conductivity of 490 W m-1 K-1; however, polycrystalline 3C-SiC exhibits significantly lower thermal conductivities due to sintering additives and lattice defects that reduce its thermal …
Silicon carbide is an extremely hard, durable material commonly found in grinding wheels and abrasives. With an exceptional Mohs hardness ranking of 9 on the Mohs scale – only diamond and cubic boron nitride surpass it! Silicon carbide’s excellent hardness properties allow it to outshone other options when used for grinding wheels and abrasives. Edward …
