Metallurgical-grade Silicon Carbide (SiC) in purity levels of 70%, 90%, and 98%, with a particle size of 1-10mm, is a versatile material widely used in metallurgy, foundry, and refractory industries. This form of SiC, known for its hardness, thermal conductivity, and chemical resistance, is produced by smelting silica sand and carbon (usually petroleum coke) in electric arc furnaces.
The 1-10mm particle size range makes it particularly suitable for refractory aggregates, metallurgical additives, and abrasive media. With purities of 70%, it serves as a cost-effective solution for general metallurgical purposes such as slag conditioning, deoxidation, and furnace lining support. Higher purity grades of 90% and 98% offer enhanced performance in steelmaking, iron casting, and non-ferrous metal production, where improved thermal stability and purity contribute to better metal quality and process efficiency. In foundries, this SiC is used in ladle linings, furnace beds, and as a fluxing agent to refine molten metal.
Its thermal shock resistance and abrasive nature also make it valuable in the production of refractory bricks, kiln furniture, and abrasives. The 1-10mm size ensures optimal packing density and reaction efficiency in metallurgical processes. Whether used for refractory construction, metal refining, or as an abrasive grain, Metallurgical Silicon Carbide (70%–98%, 1-10mm) is a reliable, high-performance material that meets the demanding needs of modern metal processing industries.
