Hana ʻia ʻo Silicon carbide (SiC) e ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i ka wela kiʻekiʻe i loko o kahi umu kūʻē me nā mea maka e like me ke one quartz, petroleum coke (a i ʻole coal coke), nā ʻāpana lāʻau (pono ka paʻakai e hana i ka carbide silicon ʻōmaʻomaʻo).Loaʻa ka Silicon carbide ma ke ʻano, he mineral laʻa, moissanite.Kapa ʻia ʻo Silicon carbide he moissanite.Ma waena o ka non-oxide kiʻekiʻe-tech refractory mea e like me C, N, a me B, silicon carbide ka mea i hoʻohana nui ʻia a me ka hoʻokele waiwai, a hiki ke kapa ʻia ke kila kila gula a i ʻole ka refractory grit.I kēia manawa, hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka hana ʻenehana o Kina i ka carbide silicon carbide ʻeleʻele a me ka carbide silicon ʻōmaʻomaʻo, ʻelua mau kristal hexagonal me ka umekaumaha kikoʻī o 3.20-3.25 a me kahi microhardness o 2840-3320kg/mm2.

ʻEhā mau wahi noi nui ʻo Silicon carbide, ʻo ia hoʻi: nā seramika hana, nā refractory kiʻekiʻe, nā abrasives a me nā mea metala.Hiki ke hoʻolako ʻia nā mea waiwai silicon carbide i nā mea nui a ʻaʻole hiki ke manaʻo ʻia he huahana ʻenehana kiʻekiʻe.ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka pauka silicon carbide nano-scale me ka ʻike loea kiʻekiʻe loa ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻokumu i nā ʻoihana waiwai i ka manawa pōkole.

⑴Ma ke ʻano he abrasive, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e hana i nā mea hana abrasive, e like me nā huila wili, nā ʻaila, nā poʻo wili, nā tile one, etc.

⑵Ma keʻano he metallurgical deoxidizer a me nā mea pale wela kiʻekiʻe.

⑶ Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia nā kristal hoʻokahi maʻemaʻe kiʻekiʻe e hana i nā semiconductors a me nā fibers carbide silicon.
