Imikhiqizo ye-silicon carbide ihlukaniswa ngezinhlobo eziningi ngokuya ngendawo yokusebenza ehlukile. Ngokuvamile isetshenziswa kakhulu ngomshini. Isibonelo, i-silicon carbide iyimpahla efanelekile ye-silicon carbide mechanical seal ngenxa yokumelana kwayo okuhle nokugqwala kwamakhemikhali, amandla aphezulu, ukuqina okuphezulu, ukumelana nokugqokwa okuhle, 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-coke yamalahle), ama-wood chips (okudingeka kwengezwe lapho kukhiqizwa i-silicon carbide eluhlaza) njalonjalo. I-silicon carbide nayo inamaminerali angavamile ngokwemvelo, ama-mulberry. Esikhathini samanje se-C, N, B kanye nezinye izinto zokusetshenziswa kwe-non-oxide high technology refractory, i-silicon carbide ingenye yezinto ezisetshenziswa kakhulu futhi ezongayo, ezingabizwa ngokuthi isihlabathi sensimbi yegolide noma isihlabathi esiphikisayo. Njengamanje, ukukhiqizwa kwezimboni zaseChina kwe-silicon carbide ihlukaniswe yaba i-silicon carbide emnyama ne-silicon carbide, kokubili okungamakristalu angama-hexagonal anengxenye engu-3.20 ~ 3.25 kanye nokuqina okuncane okungu-2840 ~ 3320kg/mm2.
