Abrasives
Coarse grains, fine particles, micron powders and submicron powders of silicon carbide serve as fundamental abrasive raw materials, and can be processed into various grinding, polishing and cutting consumables through different production techniques.
Silicon carbide is an abrasive used in;
- grinding wheels
- sandpaper
- coated disks
- honing, sharpening sticks
- loose abrasive for polishing
- cutting materials such as stone, silicon wafers
- ceramics
Our high quality silicon carbide abrasives are used for grinding, cutting, shaping, honing and polishing a wide variety of materials including plastics, cast iron, stone, ceramics, and non-ferrous alloys such as aluminum, copper and brass. Abrasives customers include; manufacturers of bonded (grinding wheel) and coated (sand paper), refractories, iron and steel, blasting abrasives, wire sawing abrasives, anti-slip abrasives, gem and stone polishing, and other polishing abrasives.
Ceramics
SHUNCHENG New Material manufactures offers high density and low porosity which is ideal for high performance applications such as advanced or technical ceramics. Silicon carbide has the ability to be sintered, recrystallized, and/or infiltrated with other materials, formed into shapes using slip casting, and extrusion or isostatic pressing. These shapes can become items such as;
- kiln furniture
- wear parts
- cutting tools
- insulators
- filters
- catalysts and many other items
SHUNCHENG New Material manufactures specifically engineered powders from .3 to 20 microns with exacting chemistry, particle size distribution, and conductivity standards for you high end technical ceramic applications.
Refractories
silicon carbide has an extremely high melting temperature (2000 ℃) superlative for refractories. This material has a low coefficient of expansion, chemical inertness, ability to stand up to corrosive environments, and is thermal resistance which makes it an ideal material for the production of bonded refractory products. Examples of refractory applications include;
- furnace and incinerator linings
- kiln furniture
- fire bricks
- cement
- electric heating elements
- other refractory products
SHUNCHENG New Material manufactures is offered single grit sizes from F14–F2000. We can assist you with selecting the appropriate size based on your current specification or custom manufacture a size that fits just right for your process.
Metallurgical
Metallurgical grade silicon carbide has low nitrogen and sulfur contents making it an ideal product for producing all types of iron. Steel manufacturers use silicon carbide as an additive to molten metal to act as a source of carbon and silicon. Silicon carbide is a prime source of silicon and carbon offering a powerful deoxidizing effect. Metallurgical silicon carbide has a silicon carbide content of less than 95% and can be Silicon carbide is utilized in basic oxygen furnaces (blast furnaces) to increase the overall efficiency of process by providing a fuel source for additional heat. Steel plants use silicon carbide to provide appropriate metallurgical properties to the final product.
