I-silicon carbide (i-SiC) yenziwa ngokunyibilikisa ubushushu obuphezulu kwisithando sokumelana nezinto eziluhlaza ezifana nesanti ye-quartz, i-petroleum coke (okanye i-coal coke), iitships zomthi (ityuwa iyafuneka ukuvelisa i-silicon carbide eluhlaza). I-Silicon carbide ikwakho kwindalo, iminerali engaqhelekanga, i-moissanite. I-Silicon carbide ikwabizwa ngokuba yi-moissanite. Phakathi kwezinto ezingezizo i-oxide high-tech refractory ezifana ne-C, N, kunye ne-B, i-silicon carbide yeyona isetyenziswa kakhulu kwaye inoqoqosho, kwaye inokubizwa ngokuba yi-gold steel grit okanye i-refractory grit. Okwangoku, imveliso ye-silicon carbide yaseTshayina yahlulwe yaba yi-black silicon carbide kunye ne-green silicon carbide, zombini ziyi-hexagonal crystals ezinobunzima obuthile be-3.20-3.25 kunye nobunzima obuncinci be-2840-3320kg/mm2.

I-silicon carbide ineendawo ezine eziphambili zokusetyenziswa, ezizezi: iiseramikhi ezisebenzayo, izixhobo zokurhawuzelela eziphambili, izixhobo zokuqhobosha kunye nezinto ezikrwada ze-metallurgical. Izinto ze-silicon carbide ezirhabaxa sele zinokubonelelwa ngobuninzi kwaye azinakuthathwa njengemveliso yobuchwepheshe obuphezulu. Ukusetyenziswa kwe-silicon carbide powder ye-nano-scale enomxholo ophezulu kakhulu wobugcisa akunakwenzeka ukuba yenze ubungakanani bomlinganiselo ngexesha elifutshane.

⑴Njengomgqumi, ingasetyenziselwa ukwenza izixhobo ezirhabaxa, ezinje ngamavili okusila, amatye eoyile, iintloko zokusila, iithayile zesanti, njl.njl.

⑵Njengesixhobo sokususa i-oxidizer kwisinyithi kunye nesixhobo esimelana nobushushu obuphezulu.

⑶ Iikristale ezicocekileyo kakhulu zingasetyenziselwa ukuvelisa ii-semiconductors kunye neefayibha ze-silicon carbide.
