Silicon Carbide
Silicon Carbide
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a highly robust, sharp, and heat-resistant material made by the electrofusion of silica sand and petroleum coke at very high temperatures. It forms hard crystalline structures that offer exceptional strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. Due to these unique properties, Silicon Carbide is widely used in industries requiring efficient cutting, grinding, polishing, and heat handling capabilities.
Key Features:
High hardness (Mohs 9.2–9.6) and strong mechanical strength
Excellent thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion
High resistance to abrasion, oxidation, and corrosion
Suitable for precision finishing and high-temperature applications
Common Applications:
Abrasives: Grinding wheels, coated abrasives, polishing stones
Industrial Processing: Cutting and shaping of metals and non-metals
Electronics: Semiconductor components and heat dissipation parts
Refractory Products: Kiln linings, high-temperature insulation materials
Available in Black (for general industrial use) and Green (for precision and high-purity applications), Silicon Carbide is offered in multiple grit sizes suitable for both bonded and coated abrasive manufacturing, as well as fine micropowder grades for polishing and advanced material processing.
