Silicon Carbide SiC

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.

• High thermal conductivity
• Low thermal expansion coefficient
• Outstanding thermal shock resistance
• Extreme hardness
• Semiconductor

Typical Applications

• Bearings
• Cyclone Components
