The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) is a system for classifying industries by a four-digit code as a method of standardizing industry classification for statistical purposes across agencies. Established in the United States in 1937, it is used by government agencies to classify industry areas.
Electronic applications of silicon carbide such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and detectors in early radios were first demonstrated around 1907. SiC is used in semiconductor electronics devices that operate at high temperatures or high voltages, or both.
This slide bearing concept, namely SiC/SiC shaft sleeve and SiC bearing, has been used since 1994 in applications such as in the boiler feedwater pumps of power stations, [46] which pump several thousand cubic meters of hot water to a level of 2,000 m (6,600 ft), and in tubular casing pumps [47] for water works or seawater desalination plants ...
Since SiC–SiC composites are generally sought for in high temperature applications, their oxidation resistance is of high importance. The oxidation mechanism for SiC–SiC composites vary depending on the temperature range, with operation in the higher temperature range (>1000 °C) being more beneficial than at lower temperatures (<1000 °C).
Many compound materials exhibit polymorphism, that is they can exist in different structures called polymorphs. Silicon carbide (SiC) is unique in this regard as more than 250 polymorphs of silicon carbide had been identified by 2006, [1] with some of them having a lattice constant as long as 301.5 nm, about one thousand times the usual SiC lattice spacings.

The major breakthrough in power semiconductor devices is expected from the replacement of silicon by a wide band-gap semiconductor. At the moment, silicon carbide (SiC) is considered to be the most promising. A SiC Schottky diode with a breakdown voltage of 1200 V is commercially available, as is a 1200 V JFET. As both are majority carrier ...
There are several manufacturing approaches to making silicon carbide fibers. [5] [6] The one with the longest historical experience, invented in 1975 and called the Yajima process, [7] uses a pre-ceramic liquid polymer that is injected through a spinneret to produce solidified green (unfired) fibers that go through a series of processing steps, including significant time in high temperature ...
