Silicon Carbide Powder - Unmatched Abrasiveness for Precision Finishing
Silicon carbide powder boasts a range of desirable characteristics that make it suitable for use in advanced ceramics and structural materials, including hardness, thermal stability, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. These features make silicon carbide micron powder an attractive material option.
Black SiC is less pure than green SiC and contains free silicon (Si) and carbon (C). It is typically used for grinding, blasting, compounds lapping and polishing operations.
High-Performance Abrasive
Silicon carbide is an efficient high-performance abrasive used for grinding, cutting, water-jet cutting and sandblasting applications. With a hardness rating of 9 on the Mohs scale and low thermal expansion and good conductivity properties that make cutting very challenging, silicon carbide offers heat resistance or minimal thermal shock resistance in various applications.
Green silicon carbide is produced by melting silica sand and petroleum coke at high temperatures in an electric resistance furnace, before grinding into powder form for use in applications such as sandblasting and machining.
As the most widely-used form of blast media, ceramic beads are widely utilized across industries. Their versatility lends them an ideal application in aerospace and automotive settings - providing components with tight dimensional tolerances a smooth surface finish through grinding and polishing applications. Ceramic blast media can also be used in heavy deburring and high-speed grinding applications using hard metals such as titanium as well as glass or ceramic materials.
High-Sharpness Abrasive
Black silicon carbide grains' crystalline sharp cutting structure makes them the ideal material to be used in abrasives, with hardness, toughness and thermal conductivity qualities making this material essential for products like sandpaper, grinding wheels and cutting tools.
High-purity sic is widely employed for applications that include semiconductor grade silicon carbide single crystal production, the production of vapor SiC ingots, precision silicon carbide ceramic parts for inverters of electric vehicles, weight and size reduction in battery management systems to increase driving range of electric vehicles, etc.
our abrasives come in various sizes and chemistries to meet every application need, from complex bonded shapes to loose as blasting grain/powder or compounds for vitrified and resinoid grinding wheels. They boast superior abrasion performance with great chemical resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient, corrosion protection as well as superior strength at higher temperatures compared to similar materials on the market.
High-Energy Abrasive
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is an extremely hard (9 on the Mohs scale), natural mineral called moissanite that has been mass produced since 1893 for use as an abrasive. Grains of silicon carbide can also be bonded together using sintering technology to form hard ceramics for applications requiring high endurance such as car brakes and clutches as well as bulletproof vest ceramic plates. Silicon carbide also features heavily in semiconductor electronics as light emitting diodes (LEDs) due its ability to withstand high temperatures and voltages.
Black SiC powder is widely utilized in both metallurgy and foundry applications to create tough, long-lasting components. Furthermore, its chemical stability, thermal conductivity and oxidation resistance make it suitable for refractory materials and ceramic applications - as well as its strength and heat endurance making it suitable for aerospace use.
High-Purity Abrasive
Every detail counts when crafting excellence, and adding high-purity abrasives will take your craftsmanship to new heights.
Black silicon carbide powder is an adaptable material used in various applications. Common applications for it include bonding and coating applications as well as wet or dry pressure blasting processes.
Conductive semiconductor grade 3C-SiC silicon carbide powder was specifically created to meet the growth needs of various processes for third-generation conductive semiconductor silicon carbide single crystals. It features precise particle size control and an overall product purity level greater than 6N.
Brown aluminum oxide is an economical alternative to black silicon carbide with similar properties. It is often chosen as the abrasive of choice in applications involving etching or roughening hard materials like glass, ceramics and stone; shorter blast cycles allow multiple uses without replacement; it can even be used on soft materials like wood and some metals such as steel.
