Silicon carbide is one of the hardest common abrasive materials, rated 9.1 on Mohs hardness scale. It can be used for artistic and craft applications like sanding wood, metal, and ceramic surfaces. As well as being known for its wear-resistance qualities in gas turbine and rocket nozzle parts, EDMed plastic can also be used to […]

Silicon carbide (SiC) is an extremely hard and wear-resistant ceramic material used in automotive brakes and clutches for long-lasting parts. Mechanical properties include low thermal expansion and high hardness. These qualities make the material well-suited to power electronics, where its wider bandgap enables higher operating voltages than traditional silicon inverters. Hardness Silicon Carbide (SiC) is

Silicon carbide plate is an extremely hard and dense ceramic material which offers great corrosion protection from acids and high temperatures, as well as rigidity and low thermal expansion, making it an excellent material choice for mirrors in large telescopes. Saint-Gobain offers an impressive variety of silicon carbide products, including nitride-bonded, reaction bonded and sintered

Silicon carbide is a high-performance material, offering chemical corrosion resistance and temperatures reaching 1,900 degrees Celsius. Produced by mixing fine a-SiC powder with non-oxide sintering additives and compacted using conventional ceramic forming processes like isostatic pressing, die casting or injection molding, silicon carbide is typically manufactured in large volumes for use as ceramic forming tools.

Silicon carbide sandpaper is a widely-used abrasive in woodworking, metalworking and automotive repair. It provides effective removal of stock material while simultaneously smoothing rough surfaces for staining or painting applications. Aluminium oxide offers great heat resistance, helping prevent thermal degradation during intensive sanding processes. But how does it compare with plastic-coated aluminum oxide? Hardness Silicon

Silicon carbide is an incredible tough ceramic material with long lifespans. Capable of withstanding harsh conditions like high temperatures and chemicals, making it suitable for industrial uses such as 3D printing, ballistics production, chemical production and paper manufacturing, among many other applications. Silicon Carbide (SiC) thermocouple protection tubes feature high flexural strength, thermal shock resistance

Silicon carbide (abbreviated SiC) is an advanced ceramic material boasting outstanding strength, hardness, lightweight properties and chemical resistance – ideal qualities for spray nozzles that must withstand erosion/abrasion/friction wear conditions in spray nozzles, shot blast nozzles or cyclone components. These cutting-edge nozzles are built to resist corrosion from acids and chemicals, saving businesses both time

Silicon carbide abrasive material is known for being hard and sharp, making it perfect for grinding and polishing metallic samples as well as wood surfaces or paint finishes. From shaping and leveling rough or uneven surfaces to prepping a perfect canvas for painting, water-resistant abrasive elevates craftsmanship to new levels. Available both wet or dry

Silicon carbide (carborundum) is a hard material – just below diamond on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness – found in black or dark green crystal form. An extremely hard abrasive material used for grinding nonferrous metals and ceramics. Also suitable for sanding, rock tumbling and sandblasting applications. Abrasive Properties Silicon carbide (SiC), an irreducibly

Aluminum oxide and silicon carbide are among the most frequently utilized abrasives used for sandpaper sheets and belts, offering varied properties to tackle many tasks effectively. Both offer advantages for certain tasks when used properly. Regular (black) and friable silicon carbide can both be used for polishing, deburring, and refinishing of rough surfaces. Silicon carbide
