Descriptions
Green Silicon Carbide (SiC) is an extremely hard (Mohs 9.4 / 2600 Knoop) man made mineral that possesses high thermal conductivity and high strength at elevated temperatures (at 1000°C, SiC is 7.5 times stronger than Al2O3). SiC has a modulus of elasticity of 410 GPa, with no decrease in strength up to 1600°C, and it does not melt at normal pressures but instead dissociates at 2600°C.
Green Silicon Carbide is used for many applications. See below for product information relating to your application.
What's the difference between Black Silicon Carbide and Green Silicon Carbide?
Black SiC is a man made mineral with a high thermal conductivity rating of 100 W/m-K. It is extremely hard, around a Mohs 9.1 or 2550 Knoop. It has high strength at elevated temperatures. For example, at 1000oC, SiC is 7.5 times stronger than Al203 (aluminum oxide). Black SiC will contain some free silicon and carbon and thus is not as pure as green SiC. Black will range in purity from 97-99% pure, depending on grit size. Green SiC is made from Silica sand and coke, appended with salt, and is extremely pure. Hexagonally shaped, it breaks into very sharp particles.
Our green SiC is pure, exceeding JIS, ISO, & FEPA standards.
Green SiC is harder than black, coming in at a 9.4 Mohs and 2600 on the Knoop scale. Green is often the media of choice when it comes wire sawing. The micronization process of manufacturing our green SiC is controlled by a computer. Then the material is water classified/separated - this produces a very tight particle size distribution, as well as a reduction in fines, as preferred for accurate wire sawing applications. Unless your application requires an extremely pure SiC, by default, black is preferred due to its more economic pricing.
High purity, good in color, better density, water classified green silicon carbide graded to exacting standards, e.g. FEPA, JIS and custom. HIJO Abrasives green silicon carbide grains are manufactured by various techniques to optimize shape, surface area, density, chemistry and/or particle size distribution for various applications.
