This silicon carbide (SiC) micron powder from Nanografi has a stated purity of 99.5+% and a particle size range of 53-90 μm. It is a very hard material, rated 9.5 on the Mohs scale, with a density of 3.216 g/cm3 at 288k, which makes it a common choice for refractory, ceramic and abrasive work.
The listed composition gives 99 % SiC, with low levels of free carbon (0,05 %), Al (0.018%), Fe (0.057%) and Ca (0.050%). The powder also offers high thermal conductivity and a thermal expansion coefficient of 2.98x10-6 at 1173k, properties that suit parts exposed to high temperatures.
The manufacturer states that the powder is not radioactive, contains no heavy metals and contains no toxic or carcinogenic substances.
