As we all know, green silicon carbide micropowder, white fused alumina micropowder, and brown fused alumina micropowder are all common abrasives. But do you understand the difference between micropowder and grinding powder?
Green silicon carbide micropowder is made from high-quality petroleum coke silicon carbide lumps, processed through crushing, alkali washing, acid washing, water washing, drying, grading, and magnetic separation. It boasts high purity, good self-sharpening properties, and high-temperature resistance.
It maintains its inherent hardness and strength under the high temperatures of grinding, exhibits good chemical inertness, and does not easily react chemically with the processed material. Its particle size distribution is concentrated and uniform, making it widely used in abrasives, refractory materials, and corrosion-resistant materials.
Differences in grinding green silicon carbide micropowder
Firstly, in terms of applications, the main use of green silicon carbide micropowder is as a raw material for silicon carbide ceramics or other ceramics and refractory materials; the main use of green silicon carbide grinding powder is as a cutting or abrasive.
Then, in terms of particle size, green silicon carbide micropowder is generally submicron in size, while green silicon carbide powder has a wide range of sizes depending on the application.
Finally, in terms of the purity of raw materials, the purity of green silicon carbide micropowder is generally above 99%, while the purity requirements for green silicon carbide grinding powder vary depending on the application, but generally 97% is sufficient.
Green silicon carbide micropowder is a high-value-added part of the silicon carbide powder preparation industry. The material selected is the part of the reaction zone in the furnace that is optimal, and the output is relatively low. Grinding can be done with all silicon carbide raw materials except for backfill.
