DESCRIPTION
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a popular abrasive material due to its hardness, durability, and ability to maintain its sharp edges and shape even under high pressure and heat. It is widely used in industries such as metalworking, woodworking, glassmaking, and automotive.
SiC abrasive is available in different forms, including grinding wheels, sandpaper, abrasive belts, and discs. It is also used in abrasive blasting, where a high-pressure stream of SiC particles is directed at a surface to remove rust, paint, or other coatings.
Composition | Grain Size (μm) | Density (g/cc) | Hardness (Knoop) (GPa) | Modulus of Rupture (MPa) | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Compressive Strength (MPa) | Elastic Modulus (GPa) | Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (1 x 10-6 in/in °C) | Thermal Conductivity (W/mK) | Poisson’s Ratio |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
SiC | 44661 | 3.15 | 2800 | 380 | 250 | 3900 | 410 | 4 | 125 | 0.16 |
