Green Silicon Carbide 0.5 Micron Sintering Flour

Special milled nanoparticle of green SiC: 0.5 micron in size.  Specifically for sintering applications.  The actual average particle size is ~0.6 - 0.7 micron.  This is often used as the base material for a SiC sintered ceramic product.

Please Note:  Custom Gradation is available and highly preferred for sintering applications.  Please fax or email us your "ideal" particle distribution specs, and we will provide a custom quotation.  If you do not have your own custom specifications to send us, we will sell you our standard sintering flour.

This material is sold by the pound, with a 5 lb minimum order.  Please order online if you are ordering small quantities of less than 20lbs.

Please email us for larger order pricing.  Typical packaging is 500kg bags.

Lead Time:  3 Business Days to date of shipping due to ISO Quality Control paperwork that we must complete prior to shipping.

Ask us about our Boron Carbide Sintering Aid , which is typically added at ~2% by weight.
