Overview of Silicon Carbide
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a high-performance ceramic material known for its exceptional hardness, thermal conductivity, and chemical stability. It appears as a dark gray to black crystalline powder and is widely used in abrasives, refractories, ceramics, semiconductors, and industrial grinding applications. Its unique properties make it an essential material in both heavy industries and high-precision manufacturing.
Due to its high melting point, wear resistance, and excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, Silicon Carbide is extensively used in cutting tools, sandpapers, furnace linings, and high-power semiconductor devices. Its durability and efficiency make it a preferred choice for manufacturers across multiple industrial sectors.
