Silicon Carbide (R21580)

Silicon carbide is a compound formed as a result of the reduction of silicon dioxide with coke in an electric furnace, when more carbon is used than necessary during the production of pure silicon.
It is often used as an anti-wear.
SiC is a ceramic material with exceptional hardness surpassed only by diamond, cubic boron nitride and boron carbide.
The material is abrasion resistant and chemically inert to all alkalis and acids as well as high temperature resistant.
These properties make Silicon Carbide a superior abrasive and ceramic material for use in extreme operating conditions.
Components are used in chemical plants, mills, expanders or reducers or nozzles
