Silicon carbide also known as Carborundum is used as abrasive in manufacturing because of its hardness, purity, uniformity, and chemical composition. It is used to make various materials such as sandpapers, grinding wheels, cutting tools, hard ceramics, automobile parts, refractory linings, wear-resistant parts for pumps and rocket engines, etc. It is also characterized by its high thermal conductivity, high-temperature strength, low thermal expansion, resistance to chemical reaction, and ability to function as a semiconductor.
