Like oxides and nitrides, Silicon Carbide (SiC)is a very hard wearing material, again requiring diamond-grinding methods to process once fired. Although not exclusively, carbides are used mainly for applications in which physical wear is a major consideration. They are amongst the hardest materials available.

Typical applications: valve seats; bearings.
