Imikhiqizo ye-silicon carbide ihlukaniswa ngezinhlobo eziningi ngokuya ngendawo yokusebenza ehlukene. Ngokuvamile isetshenziswa kakhulu ngomshini. Isibonelo, i-silicon carbide iyinto efanelekile yokuvala i-silicon carbide mechanical ngenxa yokumelana kwayo okuhle nokugqwala kwamakhemikhali, amandla aphezulu, ubulukhuni obuphezulu, ukumelana okuhle nokuguguleka, i-coefficient encane yokungqubuzana kanye nokumelana nokushisa okuphezulu.
I-Silicon carbide (SIC) yaziwa nangokuthi i-carborundum, eyenziwe ngesihlabathi se-quartz, i-petroleum coke (noma i-coal coke), ama-wood chips (adinga ukungezwa lapho kukhiqizwa i-silicon carbide eluhlaza) njalo njalo. I-Silicon carbide nayo ineminerali engavamile ngokwemvelo, i-mulberry. E-C, N, B nakwezinye izinto zokusetshenziswa ezingezona i-oxide zobuchwepheshe obuphezulu, i-silicon carbide ingenye yezinto ezisetshenziswa kakhulu futhi ezingabizi kakhulu, ezingabizwa ngokuthi isihlabathi sensimbi yegolide noma isihlabathi esiphikisayo. Njengamanje, ukukhiqizwa kwezimboni kwe-silicon carbide eShayina kuhlukaniswe nge-silicon carbide emnyama kanye ne-silicon carbide eluhlaza, zombili ezingamakristalu ayisithupha anesilinganiso esingu-3.20 ~ 3.25 kanye nobunzima obungu-2840 ~ 3320kg/mm2.
