SiC Production Process
Advanced manufacturing techniques perfected over decades of innovation
Raw Material Preparation
High-purity petroleum coke and silica sand are carefully selected and precisely mixed according to specifications. The mixture is prepared to exact ratios to ensure optimal crystal formation.
- Quality-controlled raw materials
- Precision mixing processes
- Grain size optimization
Acheson Furnace Processing
The mixture is loaded into electric resistance furnaces and heated to temperatures exceeding 2,400°C. This extreme heat causes a chemical reaction that creates silicon carbide crystals over multiple days.
- Temperatures above 2,400°C
- Multi-day crystallization
- Continuous quality monitoring
