Green
Silicon Carbide is an extremely hard (Knoop 2600 or Mohs
9.4) man made mineral that possesses high thermal conductivity
(100 W/m-K). lt also has high strength of elevated temperatures
(at 1 OOO°C, Green SiC is 7.5 times stronger than
Al203). Green
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 dissociates of 2815.5°C.
Green SiC is an entirely new batch composition made from
Silica sand and coke, and is extremely pure. lt can be
manufactured in many complex bonded shapes, which are
utilized for superrefractory purposes. Green SC is also
ideal for a wide variety of abrasive applications.
