Grinding Hard Alloys and Brittle Materials
Green silicon carbide is suitable for grinding hard alloys, hard brittle metals, and non-metallic materials, such as copper, brass, aluminum, magnesium and other non-ferrous metals, and gemstones, optical glass, and ceramics. It is also often used in the precision casting industry as coatings and shell materials, and has a wide range of applications. Its high hardness and sharp crystal edges provide fast stock removal with cool cutting.
Cutting, Grinding, and Polishing Brittle Non-Metallics
Green silicon carbide can be used to cut, grind, and polish brittle non-metallic materials such as optical glass, ceramics, crystals, silicon, germanium, stone, agate, high-end jewelry and jade, and high-end decorative material components. Its controlled particle shape and high purity prevent surface damage and contamination during precision finishing.
Bonded and Coated Abrasive Tools
Green silicon carbide can be used for bonded and coated abrasive tools, free grinding, and polishing. It is suitable for making grinding wheels, oilstones, sandpaper, emery cloth, construction grinding heads, and other abrasive products. The sharp, angular grains maintain cutting efficiency and produce consistent surface finishes.
Coatings and Fire-Resistant Applications
It is suitable for exterior wall coatings of various outdoor building structures, coating of various non-ferrous metal objects, and various exhaust gas treatments, making full use of the friction resistance, high-temperature resistance, and thermal shock resistance of green silicon carbide powder, with stable and good fire protection and fire resistance properties.
Precision Grinding and Refractory Use
Green silicon carbide is suitable for processing and grinding cylinder liners, valves, oil cast iron, carbide, titanium alloy, and precision grinding of high-speed steel tools. Green silicon carbide powder is used to make advanced refractory materials and is suitable as the first layer of lining material in high-melting-point alloy precision casting shells, where its refractoriness and inertness protect the casting interface.
