Black Silicon Carbide For Advanced Ceramic
Silicon Carbide is used due to its properties of high hardness (Mohs hardness > 9), wear resistance, its chemical inertness, high thermal conductivity, abrasion resistance, low coefficient of thermal expansion, thermal shock resistance, and strength at high temperature ranges. Silicon Carbide also has the resistivity necessary to perform as a semiconductor material. Because of these properties, Silicon Carbide is used in a wide range of applications and industries.
We can offer all grit sizes from 8-2000, in both black and green,from low purity metallurgical grade black (88 - 92%) to 99.0% (abrasive grade black), 99.5% (black), 99.6% (dark green), 99.7% (light green).
