Silicon carbide products are classified into many kinds according to different application environment. It is generally used more mechanically. For example, silicon carbide is an ideal material for silicon carbide mechanical seal because of its good chemical corrosion resistance, high strength, high hardness, good wear resistance, small friction coefficient and high temperature resistance.
Silicon carbide (SIC) is also known as carborundum, which is made of quartz sand, petroleum coke (or coal coke), wood chips (which need to be added when producing green silicon carbide) and so on. Silicon carbide also has a rare mineral in nature, mulberry. In contemporary C, N, B and other non-oxide high technology refractory raw materials, silicon carbide is one of the most widely used and economical materials, which can be called gold steel sand or refractory sand. At present, China’s industrial production of silicon carbide is divided into black silicon carbide and green silicon carbide, both of which are hexagonal crystals with a proportion of 3.20 ~ 3.25 and microhardness of 2840 ~ 3320kg/mm2.
