China Suppliers Factory Low Price High Purity Silicon Carbide SiC 88% 0-10MM Granules for Refractory Applications

Silicon carbide, known as SiC, is an inorganic compound produced through the high-temperature smelting of raw materials such as quartz sand, petroleum coke, and sawdust, with the addition of salt for green silicon carbide production. This versatile semiconductor is naturally found in the rare mineral moissanite. Since its large-scale production began in 1893, silicon carbide has become essential in various applications, particularly as abrasives. Among non-oxide high-tech refractory materials, which include carbon, nitrogen, and boron, silicon carbide stands out as the most widely utilized and cost-effective option. Commonly referred to as steel sand or refractory sand, it is favored by industries for its exceptional properties.

Product introduction

The silicon carbide produced by Chinese industry is divided into two types: black silicon carbide and green silicon carbide, both of which are hexagonal crystals. Black silicon carbide (95% SiC) has higher toughness than green silicon carbide. It is mostly used for processing materials with low tensile strength, such as glass, ceramics, stone, refractory materials, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. Low grade silicon carbide (85% SiC) is an excellent deoxidizer, which can accelerate steelmaking speed, facilitate chemical composition control, and improve steel quality. In addition, silicon carbide is also widely used to make silicon carbide rods for electric heating elements. Green silicon carbide contains over 97% SiC and has good self sharpening properties. It is mostly used for processing hard alloys, titanium alloys, and optical glass, as well as for honing cylinder liners and precision grinding high-speed steel cutting tools.

High Temperature Stability

Silicon carbide has excellent high-temperature stability and can maintain structural stability at temperatures above 2000 ℃ without melting.

Corrosion Resistance

Silicon carbide has good corrosion resistance to various chemical media, including acids, alkalis, salts, etc.

High Hardness & Wear Resistance

Silicon carbide has a hardness second to diamond and has high wear resistance, making it an ideal abrasive and cutting tool material.

01

Abrasive and Grinding Tools & Optoelectronic Devices

The high hardness and excellent thermal stability of silicon carbide make it an ideal abrasive and grinding tool material. It is widely used in fields such as metal processing, stone processing, glass processing, etc. Optoelectronic devices: The wide bandgap structure of silicon carbide gives it high transmittance to visible and ultraviolet light, making it suitable for the manufacturing of high-power lasers, photodiodes, photodetectors, and other optoelectronic devices.

02

Power Electronic Devices

The high thermal conductivity, high voltage bearing capacity, and excellent high-temperature performance of silicon carbide make it an ideal material in power electronic devices. For example, silicon carbide based diodes and transistors have higher switching speeds and lower power consumption, which can improve the efficiency and reliability of power systems.

03

Ceramic Materials

Silicon carbide ceramic materials have excellent heat resistance and corrosion resistance, and are widely used in the manufacture of high-temperature furnaces, corrosion-resistant pipelines, wear-resistant valves and bearings. In addition, silicon carbide ceramic materials also have good thermal stability and low thermal expansion coefficient, making them suitable for manufacturing high-precision instruments and semiconductor processing equipment.
