Industrial Grade Silicon Carbide – Stable Quality & Custom Sizes Available
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a high-performance industrial material valued for its exceptional hardness, thermal resistance, and chemical stability. It is widely used in metallurgy, refractory production, abrasives, and advanced industrial components. Companies that rely on precision, efficiency, and durability increasingly turn to industrial-grade silicon carbide to meet the demands of modern manufacturing.
ZhenAn is a trusted supplier of industrial-grade silicon carbide, offering stable quality, customizable sizes, and reliable global supply for buyers across metallurgical, refractory, and abrasive industries.
What Is Industrial-Grade Silicon Carbide?
Industrial-grade silicon carbide is a synthetic material produced by heating high-purity silica and carbon at extreme temperatures in electric furnaces. The resulting crystalline material exhibits properties that are highly suitable for industrial use:
- High hardness and excellent wear resistance
- Outstanding thermal resistance and shock stability
- Strong chemical resistance against acids, alkalis, and oxidation
- Low thermal expansion and high thermal conductivity
These properties make silicon carbide indispensable for processes requiring high-temperature performance, abrasion resistance, and long-term reliability.
Applications of Industrial-Grade Silicon Carbide
Metallurgical Industry
In steelmaking and metal processing, silicon carbide is often used as:
- A source of carbon and silicon for alloying
- A deoxidizing additive to improve metal quality
- A material to enhance melt stability and process efficiency
Using high-quality SiC from ZhenAn can help steel plants reduce energy consumption, maintain consistent product quality, and lower production costs.
Refractory Materials
Silicon carbide is widely used in the production of refractory bricks, kiln linings, and furnace components due to:
