Amadevu e-silicon carbide angamadevu ayi-cubic, ayingxenye yekristalu efanayo nedayimane.Ziyintshebe ezinobunzima obukhulu kakhulu, imodulus ephakeme kakhulu, amandla aqine kakhulu aqinile, kanye nokumelana nokushisa okuphezulu kakhulu phakathi kwentshebe esezihlanganisiwe.Kunezinhlobo ezimbili zohlobo luka-α kanye nohlobo lwe-β.Phakathi kwazo, ukusebenza kohlobo lwe-β kungcono kunohlobo lwe-α futhi kunobunzima obuphakeme (ukuqina kwe-Mohs kungaphezu kuka-9.5), ukuqina okungcono nokuhamba kahle, ukumelana nokugqoka, ukumelana nokushisa okuphezulu, ikakhulukazi ukumelana nokuzamazama komhlaba, ukumelana nokubola kanye nokumelana nemisebe kuye kwasetshenziswa izindiza kanye nezindlu zemicibisholo, kanye nezinjini, ama-rotor okushisa aphezulu, kanye nezingxenye ezikhethekile.
Amadevu e-silicone carbide ayizinto ezingcono kakhulu zokuqinisa nokuqinisa izinhlanganisela ezisekelwe ensimbi, eze-ceramic, kanye ne-polymer.
