is produced using very fine SiC powder containing sintering additives. It is
processed using forming methods typical for other ceramics and sintered at 2,000 to 2,200° C in an inert gas atmosphere. As well
as fine-grained versions, with grain sizes < 5 ?m, coarse-grained versions with grain sizes of up to 1.5 mm are available. SSIC is
distinguished by high strength that stays nearly constant up to very high temperatures (approximately 1,600° C), maintaining that
strength over long periods!
