Green Silicon Carbide Specifications:

• Thermal Conductivity: High (100 W/m-K) approximately
• High strength at elevated temperatures (at 1000°C, SiC is 7.5 times stronger than Al2O3)
• SiC has a modulus of elasticity of 410 GPa, with no decrease in strength up to 1600°C, and it does not melt at normal pressures but instead dissociates at 2700°C.
• Gradation:  Coarse grade meet both ANSI & FEPA; Grade 220 and finer are FEPA graded
• Incompatabilities: None
• Melting Point:   Sublimes at 4892°F (2700°C) - it does not melt at normal pressures but instead dissociates at 2700°C.
