Black and Green Silicon Carbide

Detailed Product Description

Silicon Carbide
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is produced in an electric furnace at temperatures in excess of 2200篊. SiC is produced by fusing coke and high purity silica sand. The result is the formation of SiC crystals which are very hard. SiC also has a very high thermal conductivity and is very strong at elevated temperatures.
SiC is used in a variety of industries including Bonded Abrasives (grinding wheels), Coated Abrasives (sandpaper and cloth), wire sawing granite, blasting grain, polishing compounds, refractories, structural ceramics, heating elements, and other applications.
Typical Chemical Analysis
Alpha silicon carbide which crystallizes as modifications of the hexagonal system.
SiC 98.5%
SiO2 0.5%
Si 0.3%
Fe 0.08%
Al 0.1%
C 0.3%
BALL MILL TOUGHNESS: On crude SiC, 55 minimum. Finished product is much higher but not tested on a routine basis.
Particle Shape: Blocky, Sharp.
