Silicon Carbide
Silicon carbide, also known as Carborundum, is a crystalline material characterized by its black color and fine powder form. It is primarily used as a refractory material due to its high melting point and low thermal expansion. Silicon carbide is insoluble in water and is known for its durability in high-temperature applications.
