What are the characteristics and uses of green silicon carbide?

Green silicon carbide is made from petroleum coke and silica through high-temperature smelting.

 

Green silicon carbide micropowder is primarily used as a raw material for silicon carbide ceramics, other ceramics, and refractory materials. Green silicon carbide abrasive powder is primarily used as a cutting or abrasive material.

 

In the future, green silicon carbide will also play an important role in materials science, aerospace, and internet technology as a superconducting and high-energy-carrying material.

 

Applications of Silicon Carbide

 

1. It is used for wear-resistant, fire-resistant, and corrosion-resistant materials, and can also be used to make rocket nozzles and gas turbine blades. Furthermore, green silicon carbide is an ideal material for solar water heaters on highways, runways, and other applications.

 

2. Functional ceramics utilize its thermal conductivity, thermal radiation, and high thermal strength to manufacture thin kiln furniture. This not only reduces the load capacity of the kiln furniture, but also improves the kiln loading capacity and product quality, shortening the production cycle. It is an ideal choice for indirect materials in ceramic overglaze firing.

 

3. Abrasives and grinding tools are primarily used for grinding and polishing, including grinding wheels, sandpaper, sanding belts, oilstones, grinding blocks, grinding heads, and abrasive pastes, as well as for single-crystal and polycrystalline silicon used in photovoltaic products and piezoelectric crystals used in the electronics industry.

 

 

In metallurgical mineral processing, green silicon carbide is second only to diamond in hardness and possesses exceptional wear resistance, making it an ideal material for wear-resistant pipes, impeller pump chamber cyclones, and ore bucket linings. Its wear resistance offers the longest lifespan among cast iron and rubber, and is 5-20 times that of aluminum. It is also an ideal material for runways.
