What Is Silicon Carbide Abrasive?

Silicon carbide abrasive, also called carborundum, is a hard synthetic ceramic made by heating silica sand and carbon at very high temperatures. It is one of the hardest commercial abrasive media, second only to materials like diamond and boron carbide. It conducts heat well, resists chemicals, and keeps its strength at high temperatures.

What is Silicon Carbide Grit?

Silicon carbide grit is SiC crushed and graded into sharp, angular particles by mesh size. The sharp edges cut fast, and the grains fracture to expose fresh edges as they wear, so the cutting action stays consistent.

Silicon Carbide Grit vs. Powder

Grit (coarser, about 8-220 mesh) is used for blasting, grinding wheels, and abrasive tools. Powder (micron sizes) is used for lapping, polishing, refractories, ceramics, and metallurgy.

Silicon Carbide Properties

  • Very high hardness: about 9.5 Mohs, harder than aluminum oxide and garnet sand.
  • Sharp, brittle crystals: fast cutting, with self-sharpening grains.
  • High thermal conductivity: it releases heat quickly, which suits grinding and furnace parts.
  • Heat resistance: stable at very high temperatures (commonly used up to about 1,600 °C in air).
  • Chemical resistance: resists acids and most corrosive environments.
  • Low thermal expansion: it resists thermal shock.
  • Low density: specific gravity of 3.2, lighter than many metallic abrasives.

Benefits of Silicon Carbide Blast Media Grit

  • Fast cutting on hard, brittle surfaces
  • Consistent finish because grains fracture into new sharp edges
  • Works on many materials: glass, stone, ceramics, non-ferrous metals, cast iron
  • Reusable in suitable blasting systems until the grain wears below size
  • Thermal and chemical stability for demanding industrial uses
  • Full range from coarse grit to micro powder

Silicon Carbide vs Aluminium Oxide vs Garnet

Abrasive Hardness Cutting speed Toughness Cost Best for
SiC Very high (about 9.5 Mohs) Very fast More brittle Medium Glass, stone, ceramics, precision work, fine finishes
Aluminum oxide High (about 9 Mohs) Fast Tougher Low-medium General blasting, steel prep, repeated reuse
Garnet sand Medium (about 7.5-8 Mohs) Moderate Medium Low Cleaning, waterjet cutting
