Silicon carbide is a very important high-tech refractory raw material with a wide range of applications. The following are some of the main uses of silicon carbide:
1. Abrasives: Mainly used in the manufacture of grinding wheels, sandpaper, sanding belts, oilstones, grinding blocks, grinding heads, grinding pastes, and photovoltaic products in single crystal silicon, polycrystalline silicon and piezoelectric crystals in the electronics industry.
2. Metallurgical field: as a metallurgical deoxidizer and high-temperature resistant material.
3. Semiconductor industry: High-purity single crystal silicon carbide can be used to manufacture semiconductors.
4. Functional ceramics, advanced refractory materials: Silicon carbide can also be used to manufacture functional ceramics and advanced refractory materials.
5. Photovoltaic industry: Devices made of silicon carbide can effectively convert solar energy.
6. Other fields: Silicon carbide can also be used to manufacture silicon carbide fibers, lightning rods, circuit components, low-temperature applications, ultraviolet detectors, structural materials, geography, disc brakes, clutches, diesel particulate filters, filament pyrometers, ceramic films, cutting tools, heating elements, nuclear fuels, jewelry, steel, protective gear, catalyst carriers and other fields.
