Physical properties and applications of silicon carbide

Silicon carbide due to stable chemical properties, high thermal conductivity, small thermal expansion coefficient, good wear resistance, in addition to abrasives, there are many other uses, such as: silicon carbide powder coated on the inner wall of the turbine impeller or cylinder block by a special process, which can improve its wear resistance and extend the service life by 1~2 times;

The function and application of black silicon carbide

Emery, also known as silicon carbide, includes black silicon carbide and green silicon carbide, among which: black silicon carbide is made of quartz sand, petroleum coke and high-quality silica as the main raw materials, and is smelted by resistance furnace at high temperature. Its hardness is between corundum and diamond, its mechanical strength is higher than that of corundum, and it is brittle and sharp.

Characteristics and main uses of black silicon carbide

It is black, brittle and sharp, and has good thermal and electrical conductivity.The microscopic shape is hexagonal crystal, the Mohs hardness of silicon carbide is 9.2, the Microdense hardness of Vickers is 3000–3300kg/mm2, the hardness of Knoop is 2670–2815kg/mm, and the microhardness is 3300kg/mm3.Higher than corundum in abrasives and second only to diamond, cubic boron nitride and boron carbide.
