What is Silicon Carbide
Silicon carbide is an inorganic substance with a chemical formula of SiC. It is smelted at high temperature in a resistance furnace from raw materials such as quartz sand, petroleum coke (or coal coke), and wood chips (salt is required to produce green silicon carbide).
Silicon carbide is used in semiconductors, lightning rods, circuit components, high temperature applications, UV detectors, materials of construction, astronomy, disc brakes, clutches, diesel particulate filters, filament pyrometers, ceramic films, cutting tools, heating elements , nuclear fuel, jewelry, steel, protective gear, catalyst carrier and other fields.
