Size of Silicon Carbide

SiC in different sizes

The size of silicon carbide can vary depending on its form. Here are some common sizes:

  • Powder: Silicon carbide powder can have a particle size ranging from a few microns to several millimeters.
  • Fiber: Silicon carbide fiber can have a diameter of a few micrometers to a few millimeters.
  • Wafer: Silicon carbide wafers can have a diameter of 25.4 mm (1 inch) à 300 mm (11.8 inches).
  • Ceramic: Silicon carbide ceramics can have a grain size of a few micrometers to a few millimeters.

The specific size of silicon carbide used in a particular application will depend on the desired properties and the manufacturing process. Par exemple, silicon carbide powder is often used in composites because it can be dispersed evenly throughout the material. Silicon carbide fiber is often used in heat-resistant applications because it has a high melting point. Silicon carbide wafers are often used in semiconductor devices because they have a high thermal conductivity.

The size of silicon carbide in different applications

  • Brake pads: Silicon carbide powder is used in brake pads to provide friction and wear resistance. The particle size of the powder is typically in the range of 10-50 microns.
  • Cutting tools: Silicon carbide powder is also used in cutting tools to provide hardness and wear resistance. The particle size of the powder is typically in the range of 50-100 microns.
  • Ceramic composites: Silicon carbide fibers are used in ceramic composites to provide strength and stiffness. The fiber diameter is typically in the range of 10-200 micrometers.
  • Wafers: Silicon carbide wafers are used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices. The wafer diameter is typically 200-300 mm.

The details about the size of silicon carbide in different forms

  • Powder: The particle size of silicon carbide powder is typically measured in microns, or micrometers. One micron is equal to one millionth of a meter. Common particle sizes for silicon carbide powder include:
    • -400 engrener: This means that 99.7% of the particles are smaller than 400 microns.
    • -600 engrener: This means that 99.7% of the particles are smaller than 600 microns.
    • -800 engrener: This means that 99.7% of the particles are smaller than 800 microns.
  • Fiber: The diameter of silicon carbide fiber is typically measured in micrometers. Common fiber diameters for silicon carbide fiber include:
    • 10 micrometers
    • 15 micrometers
    • 20 micrometers
  • Wafer: The diameter of silicon carbide wafers is typically measured in millimeters. Common wafer diameters for silicon carbide wafers include:
    • 25.4 mm (1 inch)
    • 300 mm (11.8 inches)
  • Ceramic: The grain size of silicon carbide ceramics is typically measured in micrometers. Common grain sizes for silicon carbide ceramics include:
    • 1 micrometer
    • 2 micrometers
    • 5 micrometers
