Silicon Carbide Green 180 mesh

Precision Performance of Green Silicon Carbide

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 silicon carbide, allowing it to fracture under pressure and continuously expose new, sharp cutting edges. This self-sharpening characteristic makes the 180 mesh grade exceptionally efficient for fine blasting, etching, and surface texturing on hard substrates.

The 180 mesh particle size is a fine powder that passes through a sieve with 180 openings per linear inch. It is commonly used in micro-abrasive blasting systems, wet blasting cabinets, and as a loose abrasive for lapping and polishing. Its high thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion also make it suitable for certain refractory and technical ceramic applications.

Typical Applications

• Precision Air and Wet Blasting: Cleaning and texturing carbide tooling, ceramic components, and glass molds without dimensional change.
• Lapping and Fine Grinding: Used as a loose abrasive slurry for achieving flatness and surface finish on seals, valves, and optical components.
• Surface Preparation: Preparing hard metal surfaces for thermal spray coatings, brazing, or bonding by creating a micro-rough profile.
• Technical Ceramics: A raw material component in the production of advanced ceramic parts, kiln furniture, and wear-resistant linings.
