SUOYI High Hardness purity Sic Silicon Carbide Grains Silicon Carbie Powder
Emery, also known as silicon carbide (SiC), is made of quartz sand, petroleum coke (or coal coke), wood chips (salt needs to be added when producing green silicon carbide) and other raw materials through resistance furnace high temperature smelting.
Silicon carbide also exists in nature as a rare mineral, moissanite. Silicon carbide is also called moissanite. Among the non-oxide high-tech refractory materials such as C, N, B, etc., silicon carbide is the most widely used and economical one, which can be called corundum or refractory sand.
At present, the silicon carbide produced in China is divided into black silicon carbide and green silicon carbide, both of which are hexagonal crystals, with a specific gravity of 3.20~3.25 and a microhardness of 2840~3320kg/mm2.
Silicon carbide mainly has four major application areas, namely: functional ceramics, advanced refractories, abrasives and metallurgical raw materials.
