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...

Ultra-high density semiconductor type single-walled carbon nanotube horizontal array

ChinaPeking Universitycooperate with Chinese Academy of Sciencesto use ethanol / methanebychemical vapor deposition method to get ultrahigh-density semiconductor array level of  single-walled carbon nanotube . Nowadays, as electronic devices become smaller and smaller, silicon transistors have reached the bottleneck of their development. The horizontal array ofsingle-walled carbon nanotubesis regarded as the most powerful successor of future transistors due to its excellent performance. At present, obtaining high-purity, high-density horizontal arrays of single-walled carbon nanotubes is a major challenge for researchers. Although the direct formation of horizontal arrays ofsingle-walled carbon nanotubeson a substrate by chemical vapor deposition is an effective method for realizing high-performance electronic devices, conventional chemical vapor deposition is extremely active due to the generated methane plasma and ultra-high temperature hydrogen atoms....

Fipronil is one of the most widely used insecticide in the world

Fipronil products  is a broad-spectrum insecticide that belongs to the phenylpyrazole chemical family. it disrupts the insect central nervous system by blocking GABA-gated chloride channels and glutamate-gated chloride (GluCl) channels. This causes hyperexcitation of contaminated insects' nerves and muscles. It's specificity towards insects is believed to be due to its greater affinity to the GABA receptor in insects relative to mammals and its effect on GluCl channels, which do not exist in mammals. Because of its effectiveness on a large number of pests,  Fipronil products  is used as the active ingredient in flea control products for pets and home roach traps as well as field pest control for corn, golf courses, and commercial turf. Its widespread use makes its specific effects the subject of considerable attention. This includes ongoing observations on possible off-target harm to humans or ecosystems as well as the monitoring of resistance development. Use: Under the ...
