Green Silicon Carbide

Green Silicon Carbide is of higher purity than black silicon carbide. In addition, to maintaining hardness close to the diamond, it is also excellent in grinding and polishing properties which will not be affected by chemicals.

Description

Green Silicon Carbide is made from high-quality silica and petroleum coke as the main raw materials, with salt added as the additive and smelted by electric resistance furnace at high temperature. It contains more than 99% SiC, and it's harder, sharper, and more friable crystal than Black Silicon Carbide. The sharp, blocky grains of Green Silicon Carbide are highly pure and have extreme hardness (Mohs 9.4 /Knoop 2600), strong cutting capacity, excellent abrasion resistance, stable chemical properties, outstanding thermal conductivity, and high strength at high temperatures.
