Carbides

Boron Carbide is a synthetic material that ranks in hardness behind only Cubic Boron Nitride and Diamond. It is the hardest material produced in...

Silicon Carbide is industrially produced by sintering, reaction bonding, crystal growth, and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Silicon carbide offers low density and high stiffness, as...

Silicon Carbide is among the hardest of ceramics, and retains hardness and strength at elevated temperatures, which translates into among the best wear resistance also.  Additionally, SiC has a high...
