What is Silicon Carbide ?

Key Properties and Industrial Applications

Top Seiko specializes in high-precision machining of advanced ceramics and composites, including Silicon Carbide (SiC)—a material known for its exceptional hardness, thermal stability, and chemical resistance.

What is SiC?
Silicon Carbide is a compound of silicon and carbon, valued for maintaining strength under high heat and in corrosive environments. It’s widely used in industries like semiconductors, aerospace, energy, and chemical processing.

Key Benefits of SiC:
High Hardness: Nearly as hard as diamond.
Thermal Stability: Withstands rapid temperature changes.
Chemical Resistance: Resists acids, alkalis, and molten salts up to 800°C.

Common Applications:
Semiconductors: Wafer carriers, tray supports
Aerospace/Energy: Turbine parts, thermal shields
Industrial/Chemical: Seals, nozzles, bearings

Our Expertise:
