Silicon Carbide. Silicon carbide crystals are hard, thin and very sharp—in fact, the only materials harder than silicon carbide are diamond and cubic boron nitride. Unfortunately, silicon carbide's hardness and shape make it brittle, so even though it cuts quickly, it also tends to break down a bit faster than other abrasives, especially ...
