Silicon carbide also exists in rare minerals in nature, such as moissanite. Among non-oxide high-tech refractory raw materials such as C, N, and B, silicon carbide is the most widely used and economical one, which can be called diamond sand or refractory sand.
[0003] Annealing refers to a method of heating a material to a certain temperature in a specific atmosphere, keeping it warm for a period of time, and then cooling it at an appropriate rate.
