Properties and Applications of Silicon Carbide Ceramics

  • Chapter
Silicon Carbide Ceramics—1

Abstract

Silicon carbide is a promising candidate for high-temperature structural materials and wear-resistant materials. We have developed pressureless-sintered silicon carbide ceramics. The properties, applications and related technologies of silicon carbide ceramics are described.
