Black Silicon Carbide is a synthetic material with a high degree of hardness (9 Mohs), prescribed for grinding operations. This material is suitable for free grinding, final products bonded by vitrifies, magnesite or Bakelite bonds. These tools and free grains of SiC are suitable for industries such as the stonework industry, stone building and statue building and in fields of production like ceramic and glass. In the building industry Silicon Carbide is also used for non slippery floors and special building materials. Due to its chemical parameters it is also used in the production of refractory products.
SiC has strength at elevated temperatures (at 1000°C, black SiC is 7,5 times stronger than Al2O3). Black SiC has a modulus of elasticity of 410 GPa, with no decrease in strength up to 1600°C, and it does not melt at normal pressures, but instead begins to dissociate at 2600°C
