Silk Road Abrasives’ Green Silicon Carbide is manufactured using high-purity quartz sand and coke as primary raw materials in an electric resistance furnace. It exhibits a greenish translucent color and features a hexagonal crystal structure of the α-type, boasting exceptional hardness second only to diamond. With strong cutting capabilities and stable chemical properties, it is well-suited for grinding hard, brittle, and non-metallic materials such as hard alloys, optical glass, and ceramics. The Green Silicon Carbide particles and powders from Silk Road Abrasives are produced using a variety of techniques to optimize their shape, surface area, and density.
