Acheson process and the production of silicone carbide
What is Silicone carbide? Silicon carbide (SiC) is a silicon and carbon compound with the chemical formula SiC. The most basic method of making silicon carbide is to heat silica sand and carbon in an Acheson graphite electric resistance furnace to temperatures ranging from 1,600° C (2,910° F) to 2,500° C (4,530° F).
