Litelu tsa silicon carbide ke litelu tsa cubic, tse leng tsa mofuta o tšoanang oa kristale joalo ka daemane.Ke litelu tse nang le boima bo phahameng ka ho fetisisa, modulus e phahameng ka ho fetisisa, matla a phahameng ka ho fetisisa a tsitsipano, le mocheso o phahameng ka ho fetisisa har'a litelu tse entsoeng.Ho na le mefuta e 'meli ea mofuta oa α le mofuta oa β.Har'a tsona, ts'ebetso ea mofuta oa β e molemo ho feta mofuta oa α mme e na le boima bo phahameng (bothata ba Mohs bo ka holimo ho 9.5), ho tiea ho betere le conductivity, ho hanyetsa ho roala, ho hanyetsa mocheso o phahameng, haholo-holo ho hanyetsa tšisinyeho ea lefatše, ho hanyetsa Corrosion le ho hanyetsa mahlaseli ho sebelisitsoe ho lifofane le matlo a limisaele, hammoho le lienjineri, li-rotor tsa mocheso o phahameng oa turbine, le likarolo tse khethehileng.
Litelu tsa silicon carbide ke lisebelisoa tse ntle ka ho fetisisa bakeng sa ho matlafatsa le ho tiisa metsoako ea tšepe, e entsoeng ka ceramic le ea polymer.
