Binding in Casting Silicon Carbide

Hi Guest,

The only Silicon Carbide I know is used in Elements for high temperature furnaces. My guess would be that a graphite baste paste with Quarts crystals would be used that is then baked to achieve the product.

Cannot be of more help sorry.

Thanks for your comments. What do you think the liquid is that they mix the mixture with?

What do you mean "Casting"? Silicon Carbide is a non-metallic crystal, used as an abrasive or a metallurgical fuel. It is not something you melt and then cast.

Perhaps the proper question should have been what is the common binder and mixing solution when mixing and potting a silicon carbide mixture.
