No matter if you are working on metal projects or wood surfaces, it’s essential to understand the differences between aluminum oxide and silicon carbide. In this article we explore their properties, applications and advantages/disadvantages. As an example, you might use aluminum oxide abrasives for rough sanding before changing to silicon carbide for finishing, helping reduce […]

Enhancing pistol shooting performance through adding friction is one of the primary principles to increase performance. There are various means available to increase friction, including stippling, but silicon carbide remains the most long-lasting and permanent way of doing this. Silicon carbide textures are applied using our two part epoxy system, followed by aggressive surface textures

Silicon carbide (SiC) is one of the lightest, hardest, and strongest advanced ceramic materials with superior resistance to acids, molten salts, low thermal expansion and abrasion. Furthermore, its strength and rigidity enable it to withstand physical wear such as erosion or wear in spray nozzles or other components of an application. Acheson first pioneered commercial

Silicon carbide chips are predicted to experience rapid expansion over the coming decade as key components in electric vehicles, charging stations and electrical power utilities. But ramping up production can sometimes prove challenging. Wolfspeed, STMicroelectronics and Allegro MicroSystems all reported issues related to SiC production on their earnings releases this week and consequently saw their

Silicon carbide’s rigidity, hardness, and thermal conductivity make it an excellent material choice for use as mirrors in astronomical telescopes. Furthermore, its lapping films make an ideal coating material that polishes fiber-optic strand ends prior to splicing. But the limited supply of high-quality SiC wafers limits market growth. They are susceptible to flaws such as

Silicon carbide sandpaper is an indispensable companion for DIY enthusiasts taking on home repairs and renovations themselves, providing unsurpassed hardness and durability with high-quality finishes. Aluminum oxide sandpaper sands wood, metal, glass and stone effectively. Furthermore, it sands more aggressively than its aluminum oxide counterpart. Versatility Silicon Carbide Abrasive Paper is the go-to finisher on

When it comes to body armor, there are various materials available and each has their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics make an excellent material for body armor due to their high hardness rating, durability, and resistance to extreme temperatures. In this article we’ll look at how bulletproof ceramics from SiC

Silicon carbide is an energy-efficient material that can enable electric vehicles to achieve greater driving distances without the need for active cooling systems and help decrease both size and weight of onboard battery management systems. Rice University researchers have developed an innovative process for upcycling pulverformed SiC waste into high-quality raw materials, known as flash

Silicon carbide whiskers are commonly used to strengthen and toughen metal, ceramic, and polymer composites, providing increased fracture toughness, flexural strength, oxidation resistance, and fracture toughness properties of their composites. Dispersions of SiCw were assessed using a Malvern Nano ZS90 to analyze their surface Zeta potential, according to Stern double electric layer structure principles (Greenwood

Silicon carbide abrasive grains are an ideal way to blast through soft materials like glass, plastic and medium-density fiberboard. Their sharp corners and narrow width are designed specifically to easily penetrate them and cut through. Silicon carbide has an extremely hard surface hardness rating of 9 on the Mohs scale, making it one of the
