Silicon Carbide

Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a very tough and long-lasting material, one of the most abrasive materials, and the main raw material for the shot blasting machine, sand blasting machine, and other surface preparation industries. It is a synthetic abrasive made of silica sand and carbon, which endows it with high hardness, good heat conductivity, and excellent resistance to wear and corrosion.

It is a blasting media in the sand/shot blasting industries for cleaning, deburring, and finishing the surface of metals, alloys, stones, and ceramics. Compared to traditional abrasives like steel shots, steel grit, garnet, and aluminum oxide, silicon carbide supplies a more sharpened cutting edge, less cleaning time, and longer reusability, thus it becomes extremely cost-effective for heavy-duty applications.

At Micro Blaster, we offer silicon carbide of excellent quality, which is compatible with the airless shot blasting machine, portable sand blasting machine, blast room, tumble blast machine, hanger-type blasting machine, and pressure blasting cabinet.

Types of Silicon Carbide

Generally, silicon carbide abrasives (SiC) are used in blasting as well as in industrial processes.

Green Silicon Carbide

• Very pure with a sharp cutting edge.
• Mostly used in grinding, polishing, and finishing of the surfaces with fine texture.
• Applied in the industries of ceramics, glass, hard metals, and stones.

Black Silicon Carbide

• More robust and more durable than green SiC.
• Excellent for heavy work such as metal surface cleaning, deburring, and shot blasting operations.
• Often used in airless shot blasting machines and blast rooms for rust, scale, and tough coatings cleaning.

As well as silicon carbide, abrasives like garnet, aluminum oxide, copper slag, glass beads, and steel grit are extensively used in sand blasting machines, depending on the application requirements.

Advantages of Silicon Carbide

Silicon carbide abrasive offers several benefits to an industrial process and a blasting process, which include:

• Extreme Hardness: Results in faster cutting action and more intense cleaning.
• Heat Resistance: This characteristic allows it to be used in thermal and semiconductor applications.
• Versatility: Is compatible with various shot blasting as well as sand blasting machines.
• Durability: The product/service is more durable than common abrasives like sand and copper slag.
• Improved Surface Quality: Generates surfaces that are smooth, polished, and uniform.
• Cost Efficiency: Leads to the reduction of abrasive consumption since the abrasive has a longer life cycle.
• Eco-Friendly Option: Has less dust generation during the blasting process as compared to traditional blasting abrasives.

Silicon Carbide Price in India

Micro Blaster offers the prices of silicon carbide that are the best in the market, with no compromise in the quality of the product. Silicon carbide pricing in India is influenced by the following factors: purity, the product's (green or black) type, grain size, and the quantity of the order. Generally, the price of green silicon carbide is slightly higher because of its high purity and use in grinding of fine finishing, whereas black silicon carbide is affordable and is utilized for bulk shot blasting operations. Along with the abrasive you have mentioned, we also supply you with aluminum oxide, garnet, glass beads, and steel grit, making it easy for you to procure all your sand blasting and shot blasting requirements in one place.
