Product & Applications

Electrically conductive sintered alpha silicon carbide (SiC) is
dense and has superior resistance to oxidation, corrosion,
wear and chemicals. The single-phase silicon carbide also
has high strength and good thermal conductivity. Some of the
products we handle are listed below:

  • Grinding media: dimension: ½" diameter X ½" high

  • Seal ring: a variety of sizes

  • Sandblasting nozzle

  • High power resistor

  • Induction heating susceptor: can be used in air up to
    1600oC

  • Burners and crucibles
