Silicon Carbide Ladle Addition.


Exolon-ESK has introduced Exo-Nod 97, a new proprietary silicon carbide silicon carbide, chemical compound, SiC, that forms extremely hard, dark, iridescent crystals that are insoluble in water and other common solvents. Widely used as an abrasive, it is marketed under such familiar trade names as Carborundum and Crystolon. . The product is meant to deliver maximum metallurgical met·al·lur·gy
