Silicon Carbide

Silicon Carbide

Silicon Carbide is an extremely hard and durable industrial material known for its high thermal conductivity, excellent wear resistance, and superior cutting and grinding performance. Ideal for abrasives, polishing, refractory applications, and high-temperature processes.

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.
