Silicon carbide sic also known as carborundum k ɑːr b ə ˈ r ʌ n d əm is a semiconductor containing silicon and carbon it occurs in nature as the extremely rare mineral moissanite synthetic sic powder has been mass produced since 1893 for use as an abrasive grains of silicon carbide can be bonded together by sintering to form very hard ceramics that are widely used in applications. Silicon nitride is one of the major structural ceramics that possesses high flexural strength good fracture resistance good creep resistance and high hardness. Some elements such as carbon or silicon may be considered ceramics ceramic materials are brittle hard strong in compression and weak in shearing and tension. Silicon carbide ceramic sic is an advanced ceramic material containing silicon and carbon.

The processing consolidation and properties of members of the sic family of structural ceramics. Usually they are metal oxides that is compounds of metallic elements and oxygen but many ceramics. And the silicon nitride and sialon families of hot pressed sintered and reaction bonded structural ceramics. Conceptual and detailed design principles for structural ceramics.

Ceramic composition and properties atomic and molecular nature of ceramic materials and their resulting characteristics and performance in industrial applications. Industrial ceramics are commonly understood to be all industrially used materials that are inorganic nonmetallic solids. They withstand chemical erosion that occurs in other materials subjected to acidic or caustic environments. Synthetic sic powder has been mass produced since 1893 for use as an abrasive.
