DESCRIPTION
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a compound made up of silicon and carbon. It is a popular material for a variety of industrial applications due to its high strength, hardness, and thermal stability. SiC is often used as an abrasive material in cutting tools, grinding wheels, and sandpapers. It is also used as a refractory material in high-temperature applications such as furnace linings and crucibles.
SiC has a wide range of electronic applications due to its high electrical conductivity and high breakdown voltage. It is used in the production of semiconductor devices such as diodes, transistors, and power electronics.
SiC is also used in the aerospace industry due to its high strength and thermal stability. It is used to make components for jet engines and gas turbines.
