Description :

This specimen is perfect for home décor.

Silicon carbide is a compound formed from silicon and carbon atoms linked by strong covalent bonds, similar to those found in diamond, and possesses a robust hexagonal crystalline structure. 

Properties:

It is known for its exceptional hardness, approaching that of diamond, and its high thermal conductivity and resistance to high temperatures and acids. 

Applications:

Due to its unique properties, silicon carbide is used in various industrial applications, including abrasives for cutting, grinding, and polishing, as well as in the production of semiconductors and refractory materials. 

Semiconductor Significance:

Silicon carbide is increasingly recognized as a potential replacement for traditional silicon semiconductors, particularly in power electronics, due to its wider bandgap, which enables higher voltage and frequency operation. 


Dimensions : 6 in L x 3 in W x 3.25 in H
