- Quality-controlled raw materials
- Precision mixing processes
- Grain size optimization
01
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
