Wiresawing:
Special micrograins developed in order to give true and smooth cuts with a minimum
On total thickness (TTV) , wrap, bow, or surface damage for sawing of:
1) Silicon wafers for electronics
2) Silicon wafers for photovoltaics
3) Gallium arsenide
4) Quardz
5) Glass
6) Ferrite
7) Sapphire
8) Ceramics
Refractories
Chemical inertness at high temperature, high abrasion resistance, low coefficient of thermal
Expansion, high thermal shock resistance makes silicon carbide an attractive material for
Several refractory purposes such as:
1) Kiln furniture
2) Aluminum reduction cells
3) Incinerators
4) Bricks for blast furnaces and zinc furnaces
5) Crucibles
6) Monolithics
7) Taphole and runners in melting furnaces
Metallurgical
Metallurgical grade silicon carbide is used in foundries and in the steel industry in the
Forms of briquettes or loose grains:
1) As alloying elements, replacing the carbon / ferro-silicon combination
2) As a deoxidizing agent
3) As an inoculant
High performance ceramics
Very fine silicon carbide powders, well into the submicron ranges, are used as the key
Material in high performance ceramics such as:
1) Recrystallized silicon carbide (R-SiC)
2) Reaction bonded silicon carbide (SiSiC) and sintered silicon carbide (SSiC) for typical
3) Applications:
A) Diffusion components
B) Kiln furniture
C) Seal rings
D) Burner nozzles
E) Slurry pump housing and impellers
F) Incinerators
