Silicon Carbide Green 12 mesh

High-Purity SiC for Demanding Industrial Applications

Green silicon carbide (SiC) is produced in an electric resistance furnace from high-purity silica sand and petroleum coke. The resulting crystalline structure is harder and more friable than black SiC, making it the preferred choice for processing tungsten carbide, ceramics, glass, and non-ferrous metals. The 12 mesh particle size offers an optimal balance between aggressive stock removal and a controlled surface profile, making it suitable for both blasting and bonded abrasive applications.

Performance Characteristics of 12 Mesh SiC

At 12 mesh, the particles are large enough to deliver significant impact energy in air-blast systems, yet uniform enough to produce a consistent anchor pattern. The semi-friable nature means grains fracture under pressure, continuously exposing new, sharp cutting edges. This self-sharpening action maintains a high cut rate throughout the media's life, which can improve process efficiency and reduce overall abrasive consumption compared to less friable alternatives.

Common Industrial Uses

• Precision Abrasive Blasting: Cleaning and texturing hard metals, glass etching, and ceramic surface preparation where iron contamination must be avoided.
• Lapping and Polishing: Used in loose abrasive slurry systems for finishing precision components.
• Bonded Abrasives: A key raw material for manufacturing grinding wheels and cutting discs for non-ferrous and stone applications.
• Wire Sawing: Employed in slurry for slicing silicon ingots and other hard crystals.
