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.
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.
Sold by the pound, with a 10 lb minimum order. Please call for larger order pricing. Typical packaging is 500kg bags.
Ask us about our Boron Carbide Sintering Aid , which is typically added at ~2% by weight.
