Black Silicon Carbide (SiC) Powder Applications

Product Description
Black silicon carbide powder is a high-purity advanced ceramic material synthesized via Acheson process, featuring exceptional hardness, thermal stability, electrical conductivity, and chemical inertness. It is widely used as a functional filler, abrasive, and reinforcement in high-value industries.
Key Properties
  • Hardness: Mohs 9.2–9.3
  • Thermal Stability: Stable at 1200°C (air), 1700°C (inert atmosphere); Melting point ≈2700°C
  • Thermal Conductivity: ≈120 W/(m·K)
  • Thermal Expansion Coefficient: ≈4×10⁻⁶/°C
  • Electrical Conductivity: Semiconductive (superior to traditional ceramics)
  • Chemical Inertness: Resistant to acids, alkalis, and electrolytes
Key Advantages
  • Multifunctional: Combines wear resistance, thermal stability, conductivity, and reinforcement.
  • Wide Temperature Adaptability: -200°C to 1700°C (inert atmosphere).
  • High Cost-Effectiveness: Superior performance vs. traditional materials (e.g., alumina, carbon black).

1. In Lithium-Ion Batteries

  • Silicon-carbon anode additive: Improves conductivity, buffers volume expansion, stabilizes cycle life.
  • Conductive & thermal-stable filler: Enhances safety and high-temperature performance.
  • Ceramic-coated separator component: Increases heat resistance and puncture strength.

2. In Aerogel Thermal Insulation Sheets (for battery PACK)

  • High-temperature infrared opacifier: Blocks radiant heat during thermal runaway.
  • Reinforcement: Makes aerogel stronger, less brittle, resistant to vibration and powder fall-off.
  • Heat stabilizer: Works stably at 600–1200°C.

3. Abrasives & Grinding

  • Bonded abrasives (grinding wheels)
  • Coated abrasives (sandpaper, sanding belts)
  • Lapping & polishing for metals, semiconductors, glass

4. Refractory & Ceramic Materials

  • High-temperature kiln furniture
  • Wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant ceramics
  • Refractory composites

5. Surface Treatment

  • Sandblasting media: Cleaning, descaling, roughening
