Product Specification

Silicon Carbide

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a hard, chemically stable compound of silicon and carbon produced by the Acheson process. In metallurgy and steelmaking, it is used as a deoxidizer, desulfurizer, and carburizer, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional ferroalloy additions while improving steel cleanliness and yield.
