Silicon Carbide

Silicon Carbide, which is a mixture of silicon and carbon, is mainly used as an abrasive product and in the refractory world in highly wear resistant applications, like burner quarls in coal fired power stations.

Silicon Carbide products have unique mechanical and chemical properties. Thery are high temperature resistance, thermal shock resistance, and have a very high thermal conductivity etc.

Next to this SiC is oxidation resistance (reaction bonded) and has a high electrical conductivity.
