Silicon carbide

Silicon carbide 25kg, wholesale crystals with diamond luster, druze or crystalline powders. There are transparent white, yellow, green or from dark blue to black colors, depending on the purity, dispersion, allotropic and polytypic modifications.

Binary inorganic chemical compound of silicon with carbon. Chemical formula of SiC. Let's not dissolve neither in water, nor in acids.

Very little is found in nature, in the form of an extremely rare mineral - moissanite. Silicon carbide is mainly produced synthetically. The name of such a synthetic mineral is carborundum. Pure quartz sand, as well as coke or anthracite, are used as raw materials for the production of silicon carbide. Approximately 250 crystalline forms of silicon carbide are known.

The properties of silicon carbide are similar to diamond. Despite its lightness, it has a high microhardness, thanks to which materials made of silicon carbide (SiC) are used in the metalworking and metallurgical industry for cleaning metal products. It is also the lightest ceramic material, with high thermal conductivity, low coefficient of thermal expansion and extremely high resistance to acids and alkalis.

Silicon carbide has high thermal and chemical resistance, this quality allows it to be used for the manufacture of refractories. In combination with aluminosilicate fibers SiC, SiO2& are part of composite materials. Due to its properties, it resists corrosion, erosion, abrasive and frictional wear well.

Chemical formula - SSiC/SiSiC.

Where is it applied?

In the production of the food industry;

In the metallurgical and electrical fields as a grinding or refractory material;

For cleaning liquids from solid particles in diesel filters;

As a component of composite armor, which is used to protect weapons and military equipment;

In the form of an integral element of layered armor, ceramics / organoplastic bulletproof vests;

For the production of high quality "ceramic" disc brakes for sports cars;

For the manufacture of mirror elements in optical systems, such as astronomical telescopes or power transmission systems using laser radiation;

In pyrometry for measuring the temperature of gases by the optical method;

As a layer of tristructural isotropic coating for nuclear fuel elements in high-temperature reactors, including gas-cooled reactors;

For the manufacture of canisters for long-term storage and disposal of nuclear waste;
