Free Carbon in Silicon Carbide: Why It Matters More Than You Think

탄화규소의 유리탄소: 생각보다 중요한 이유

Free carbon in silicon carbide is a frequently overlooked impurity that causes measurable problems in sintering, electrical performance, refractory durability, and abrasive consistency. This article explains the formation mechanisms, grade-specific thresholds, measurement methods, and procurement practices engineers need to control it effectively.

SiC 순도 인증서가 실제로 알려주는 것과 그렇지 않은 것

A supplier certificate showing 98.5% SiC purity tells only part of the story — free carbon, polytype ratio, and trace metals below 100 ppm often go unreported yet directly drive refractory failures and sintering defects. This article explains what each analytical method actually measures, which critical parameters standard COAs omit, and what supplementary documentation to require before approving any SiC shipment.
