炭化ケイ素式
Silicon carbide (SiC) is an exceptionally hard crystalline compound of silicon and carbon found naturally as moissanite and has semiconductor properties. Industrially produced powder can be used in abrasive grinding and cutting operations. Edward Acheson first synthesized synthetic moissanite artificially in 1891 using electric heat from a power plant to combine silica with carbon, yielding small black crystals known as synthetic moissanite. The reduction of silica with excess carbon Silicon carbide is a hard, brittle material made up of close-packed structures of carbon and silicon covalently bound together. It is extremely tough and boasts an extremely high melting point which provides thermal shock resistance. Silicon carbide can be found in […]
