SiC

SiC was discovered by accident while synthesizing diamond by EG. A Cheson, which was 100 years ago in the year 1891.

FeaturesSiC was discovered by accident while synthesizing diamond by EG. A Cheson, which was 100 years ago in the year 1891.

At that time, the research development on SiC reconstitution method for printing material, polishing, or fuming materials was in the process. Furthermore, research of high density began that in 1956, the basic research on hot press method and response sintering method such as REFEL of BNFL development continued. In 1974, Prochazka of GE clearly established the sintering process to reach close to the theoretical density under high pressure according to the event that he added a small amount of carbon and boron into the SiC powder of Sub- mi- cron.

This is called the engineering ceramic and the developments and utilizations of the material are underway for the semiconductor industry, automobile engine parts, and various machine component parts. Additionally, using its strong corrosion resistance, it is being used as nozzle for metal or using its electricity conduction, it is also used as a special electrode.
