Silicon carbide oloa e faʻavasegaina i le tele o ituaiga e tusa ai ma faʻaoga eseese siosiomaga. E masani ona fa'aaogaina fa'ainisinia. Mo se faʻataʻitaʻiga, o le silicon carbide o se mea sili ona lelei mo le faʻamaufaʻailoga faʻainisinia silicon carbide ona o le lelei o le faʻamaʻiina o vailaʻau, malosi maualuga, maualuga le maaa, lelei le ofuina o le faʻaogaina, laʻititi faʻafefeteina ma le maualuga o le vevela.
Silicon carbide (SIC) e lauiloa foi o le carborundum, lea e faia i le quartz sand, petroleum coke (poʻo le koale coke), laupapa meataalo (lea e manaʻomia ona faʻaopoopo pe a gaosia carbide silicon green) ma isi. Silicon carbide e iai foi se minerale seasea i le natura, mulberry. I le taimi nei C, N, B ma isi non-oxide tekinolosi maualuga refractory mea mata, silicon carbide o se tasi o mea sili ona faʻaaogaina ma le tamaoaiga, lea e mafai ona taʻua o le oneone uamea auro po o le oneone refractory. I le taimi nei, o le gaosiga o pisinisi a Saina o le silicon carbide ua vaevaeina i le carbide silicon black ma le silicon carbide, o ia mea uma o tioata hexagonal ma se vaega o le 3.20 ~ 3.25 ma le microhardness o le 2840 ~ 3320kg / mm2.
