Ultrafine Silicon Carbide
Miscellaneous
- Family: Other
- Region: None
- Mined At: Unspecified
- Raw Mineral: No
- Generic: No
Notes
SiC is an inorganic non-metal material that has excellent resistance to elevated temperatures, corrosion, and heat shock. It has low density coupled with a high degree of hardness. Ultrafine SiC powder is used for coatings and parts in aviation, astronavigation, nuclear energy, chemical, machinery, engines, gas and fluid delivery devices, bearings, cutting-tools, abrasives, reinforcing agents, and shear devices.
The properties of SiC ultrafine powders are tightly controlled and typical data is presented as follows:
Crystalline type: Cubic (b-type)
Purity(SiC): 97.0-98.0%
Free silicon(Sif): <0.2%
Free carbon(Cf): 0.6-1.0%
Total oxygen (?o): 0.7-1.5%
Chloride(Cl): <0.25%
Average diameter range: 0.05-0.5mm
Particle shape: Ball or cubic body
Dispersion: good hard agglomerate
Specific surface area: 20-40m2/g
