SiC is a ceramic material with exceptional hardness that is infused only with diamond, cubic boron nitride and boron carbide. The material is abrasion resistant and chemically inert to all alkalis and acids, as well as resistant to high temperatures. These properties make Silicon Carbide a superior abrasive and ceramic material for use in extreme operating conditions. Components are used in chemical plants, mills, expanders or constrictors or nozzles.
