Silicon carbide is a compound of silicon and carbon which can be obtained from coke and quartz sand at a temperature of about 2500° Celsius.
Our experts can translate specific technical requests into real and suitable customer’s solutions by taking advantage of the outstanding features of this material:
- Very good hardness
- Chemical and thermal resistance
- Good resistance to fluctuations in temperatures
- High thermal conductivity
- Low thermal expansion
- Good wear resistance
- Good anti-friction properties
