Silicon carbide is not only used as abrasive, but more as a new material, and is widely used in high-tech products. For example, ceramics made of silicon carbide materials are widely used in high-end products. What are the six advantages of silicon?

Six advantages of silicon carbide materials:

1. Low density
Silicon carbide material is less dense than metal, making the device lighter.

2. Corrosion resistance
Made of silicon carbide material with high melting point, chemical inertness and thermal shock resistance, silicon carbide can be used for abrasives, ceramic firing kilns and slabs used in silicon carbide, for smelting and smelting industrial vertical cylindrical distillation furnaces, bricks, Aluminum electrolytic cell linings, crucibles, small charge and other silicon carbide ceramic products.

3. High temperature resistance, small thermal expansion coefficient
Silicon carbide materials are manufactured at high temperatures. In some high temperature environments, the material is required to have a certain processing strength and processing accuracy, and silicon carbide ceramics can achieve these two points. The high temperature of silicon carbide is about 800°C, while the temperature of steel is only 250°C. Roughly calculated, the average thermal expansion coefficient of silicon carbide is 4.4×10-6/°C in the range of 25 to 1400°C. Measurements of the thermal expansion coefficient of silicon carbide indicate that this amount is much smaller than that of other abrasives and high temperature materials.

4. High thermal conductivity
Silicon carbide materials have high thermal conductivity, which is another important feature of the physical properties of silicon carbide. The thermal conductivity of silicon carbide is much greater than that of other refractory materials and abrasives, and is approximately four times that of corundum. Silicon carbide has a low coefficient of thermal expansion and high thermal conductivity, which makes the workpiece less thermally stressed during heating and cooling, which is why SiC parts are particularly thermal shock resistant.

5. High mechanical strength and good rigidity
The high mechanical strength of silicon carbide material prevents deformation of the material. The mechanical strength of silicon carbide is higher than that of jade.

6. High hardness and wear resistance
The hardness of silicon carbide material is very high, the hardness of Mohs notch is 9.2~9.6, second only to diamond and boron carbide. Compared with metallic steel materials, it has high hardness, low friction coefficient, relatively low friction, small surface roughness and good wear resistance in the non-lubricated state. In addition, it is highly resistant to external substances and increases the resistance of the surface.
