Silicon Carbide (SiC) has many excellent properties and has a wide range of applications in many fields, as follows:

1. Performance Characteristics:
   • High hardness: Silicon carbide is one of the materials with very high hardness, second only to diamond, which makes it ideal for the manufacture of abrasives and cutting tools for machining hard materials, such as stone, ceramics and glass.
   • High Thermal Conductivity: Silicon carbide has a high thermal conductivity, which enables it to conduct and dissipate heat efficiently. This property makes it suitable for high-temperature environments and heat-sinking applications, such as in heat-sinking components of electronic equipment, where it can help to conduct heat quickly, lower the temperature of the equipment, and improve the stability and reliability of the equipment.
   • High chemical stability: At high temperatures, silicon carbide is highly resistant to most chemicals and is not susceptible to chemical reactions. This chemical stability allows it to maintain stable performance even in harsh chemical environments, and it can be used in the manufacture of chemical equipment, such as as raw materials for petroleum gasifiers and desulfurization furnace linings.

   • Excellent semiconductor properties: Silicon carbide is a wide bandgap semiconductor with high electron mobility, high breakdown voltage and high thermal stability. This enables silicon carbide semiconductor devices to withstand higher temperatures, stronger electric fields and stronger radiation environments, and maintain good performance under extreme conditions such as high frequency, high voltage and high temperature.
   • Good abrasion resistance: Due to its high hardness, silicon carbide has excellent abrasion resistance and is suitable for manufacturing abrasion-resistant coatings and components, which can extend the service life of equipment.
   • Good biocompatibility: Silicon carbide has good biocompatibility and has potential applications in the medical field, for example in the manufacture of implantable medical devices such as artificial joints.
   • Unique optical properties: specific types of silicon carbide (e.g. β-sic) are transparent in the visible range and can be used for advanced optical components.
