What is the difference between Alpha SiC and Beta SiC in silicon carbide powder?

Pure silicon carbide powder is a colorless, transparent crystal. Industrial silicon carbide is light yellow, green, blue or even black due to the type and content of impurities contained in it. The transparency varies with its purity. The crystal structure of silicon carbide is divided into hexagonal or rhombohedral α-SiC and cubic β-SiC (called cubic silicon carbide). Since α-SiC constitutes many different variants due to the different stacking sequences of carbon and silicon atoms in its crystal structure, more than 70 kinds have been found. β-SiC is converted to α-SiC at 2100 ° C or higher. The industrial production method of silicon carbide is refined in a resistance furnace using high-quality quartz sand and petroleum coke. The obtained silicon carbide block is made into various particle size products by crushing, acid-base washing, magnetic separation, screening or water selection.
Alpha Sic and Beta Sic have the following differences:
1. In the synthesis process, the synthesis temperature of Beta sic is about 1500-1600 °C, and the smelting temperature of Alpha sic needs to exceed 2400 °C. Since the Beta sic smelting temperature is much lower than Alpha sic, its sintering activity is better, the particles are easier to refine and homogenize, and a large number of nano, submicron and micron ultrafine particles can be produced.

2. The crystal form of Beta sic is cubic, spheroidal, and the equiaxed structure of the crystal determines that the powder has better natural sphericity and self-sharpness than a-sic, so it has better grinding in precision grinding. The cutting and polishing effect has better sealing properties in the production of materials, sealing products and military products, so that the products have better density. Alpha sic is a hexahedron.

3. The hardness of Beta sic is much higher than that of Alpha sic. Therefore, Beta sic has better performance and much higher grinding efficiency when grinding. It is generally used in the field of superfine grinding.

4. Abrasives: Alpha sic can be used for rough polishing. In polishing, Beta sic is used to improve the finish. Polished with diamond, the price is about 10 times that of beta sic, so Beta sic products have high grinding precision and good finish, which is not suitable for scratching, and the performance is more prominent in fine grinding.

5. beta sic has better electrical properties than alpha sic and higher purity in preparation, making it more unique in the field of electrical materials, especially in the field of semiconductors. It is several times better than Alpha sic in terms of conduction and heat conduction. It can be used as a heater, heat exchanger and electric heater. It has good thermal shock resistance and is not afraid of cold and heat. Other materials are much less effective.

6. Cubic silicon carbide, also known as Beta sic, is a cubic crystal system. The Beta sic hardness is 9.25--9.6, which is close to the diamond 10 and has a better finish than diamond. Beta sic is one of the hardest high-performance materials after steel. Its ultra-high hardness and density make it ideal for parts subject to high wear and sliding wear. It is suitable for all kinds of grinding, especially ultra-precision. Grinding; Beta sic is a low temperature crystal form, and crystal form conversion can occur at 1800 °C. Beta sic has ultra-high strength and excellent creep and fracture resistance at temperatures up to 1600 ° C (3000 ° C). As a semi-conductive material, Beta sic is several times higher than Alpha sic. After addition, the generator material will be better and the temperature is better. The Beta sic is half the weight of most alloys, just 40% of the alloy. the same.

beta sic (cubic silicon carbide powder) is the main product of SAT NANO, including 50nm, 100nm, 0.5um, 1 micron, 5 micron, 10 micron. The purity is 99%. Welcome to ask us a quote.

What is silicon carbide whiskers and its application

Silicon carbide whiskers are a kind of single-crystal fiber with a certain length-to-diameter ratio, which has very good high temperature resistance and high strength. It is mainly used in toughening applications where high temperature and high strength applications are required. Such as: aerospace materials, high-speed cutting tools. At present, it has a very high performance-price ratio. Silicon carbide whiskers are cubic whiskers, and diamonds belong to a crystal form. They are the whiskers with the highest hardness, the largest modulus, the highest tensile strength and the highest heat resistance temperature. It is both α-type and β-type, in which β-type performance is better than α-type and has higher hardness (Mohs hardness of 9.5 or more), better toughness and electrical conductivity, anti-wear, high temperature resistance, especially earthquake resistance Corrosion-resistant, radiation-resistant, has been applied to aircraft, missile casings and engines, high-temperature turbi...

What is boron nitride coating and how to use it?

Product Characteristics Environment Friendly: Boron nitride is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-polluting Chemical Properties:  Strong non-stick properties in high temperature environment, stability in high temperature Physical Properties: Electrical insulator, low dielectric constant, good thermal conductivity and high lubricity Product Features: Special formula, water-based, easy to use, long-acting formula This type of coating is suitable for all kinds of release agents which need to be operated at high temperature (the product can withstand high temperature of 2800 C).

After coated with boron nitride coating on graphite, the pollution, reaction and bonding phenomena of carbon on sintered parts which may ...

We have already used titanium dioxide powder in our lives.

Titanium is a chemical element, chemical symbol Ti, atomic number 22, located in the fourth cycle of the chemical periodic table, group IVB. It is a silver-white transition metal characterized by light weight, high strength, metallic luster and resistance to wet chlorine gas. The most common compound of titanium is titanium dioxide, which can be used to make white pigments. In the past, people used to mine titanium ore, the main purpose is to obtain titanium dioxide. 1.The nature of titanium dioxide Titanium dioxide (chemical formula: TiO2) is a white or bulk amphoteric oxide with a molecular weight of 79.83. Titanium dioxide is a compound of titanium, a pure substance composed of two or more elements (different from elemental matter). A compound has certain properties, different from the elements or ions it contains, and other compounds. Properties of crystal form: TiO2 has three main crystal forms such as rutile type, anatase type and plate titanium type. Optical properties: Since T...
