text: Silicon Carbide (SiC) has strikingly similar properties to diamond: it is one of the lightest, hardest, and strongest technical ceramic materials, with excellent thermal conductivity, acid resistance, and low thermal expansion. Silicon Carbide is an excellent material to use when physical wear is a concern, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
  Wintrustek produces Silicon Carbide in three variants.
  Reaction bonded Silicon Carbide (RBSiC or SiSiC)
  Sintered Silicon Carbide (SSiC)
  Porous Silicon Carbide
  Exceptionally high hardness
  Very high thermal conductivity
  Low coefficient of thermal expansion
  Chemical and thermal stability
  Excellent thermal shock resistance
  High Young's modulus
