What is silicon carbide used for?
Silicon carbide has a wide range of business applications. ZhenAn summarized the uses of silicon carbide for everyone. Let’s take a look at several uses of silicon carbide.
The hardness of silicon carbide is very high, about 9 degrees on the Mohs scale. After grinding, it can be used as abrasive powder, polishing paper, and friction surfaces of grinding wheels and grindstones.
Iron alloys are used in soap builders and to prevent bar soap grease and bloom. It has a strong emulsifying effect on lubricating oils and fats and can be used to adjust the pH value of buffer soaps. Water softener for industrial water. Pretanning agent for tanning. Dyeing auxiliaries. It is used as a dispersant when preparing suspensions in paint, kaolin, magnesium oxide, calcium carbonate and other industries.
It has very good high temperature resistance and high strength. Mainly used for toughening applications that require high temperature and high strength application materials. Used in the fields of national defense and aviation for engine burners, high-performance radar materials and infrared fairings, helicopter and jet parts, high-temperature power auxiliary components, etc.; used in the electronics industry for high-performance multi-layer integrated block packaging, multi-layer capacitors ; In the automotive industry, it is used in catalytic converters, driving system components, valves and valve seats; in the chemical industry, it can be combined with thermoplastic and thermosetting resins to form composite materials, which can significantly improve the strength, thermal conductivity and wear resistance of plastics. . When 15% silicon carbide is added to epoxy resin, the wear is reduced by 17%. In addition, it is also widely used in ceramics, environmental protection, energy and other fields.
Used as reinforcing fibers and radio wave absorbing materials for composite materials such as resin, metal, and ceramics. It is also used as a material in space and aerospace energy.
Raw materials for high-density sintered bodies, raw materials for high-temperature resistant structural materials, corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant materials. Toxicity and Protection: Allowed concentration is 10mg/m3.
It is used as reinforcing fiber for composite materials such as resin and metal, and can also be used as radio wave absorbing material and heat-resistant material.
