Many current silicon carbide plants use the same basic design as the first Acheson plant.

They are mainly used industrially as precursors to silicon carbide.

Carbon fibre, silicon carbide, and polyethylene have also been used.

All channels share a 10 cm telescope, which uses a silicon carbide mirror.

Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide and other abrasives are also used.

The surviving silicon carbide on top was brittle and easily flaked away.

Silicon carbide comes from silica sand and carbon in the form of coke.

The silicon carbide is nonporous, mechanically strong, very hard, and also cannot burn.

The result was silicon carbide ceramic which preserved the intricate cell structure of the wood.

The most common reinforcing materials in this category are alumina and silicon carbide.

Silicon carbide has two similar crystalline forms, which are both related to the diamond structure.

It was constructed from silicon carbide to maintain good shape while being as light as possible.

Exceptions include inorganic materials that do not have oxygen such as silicon carbide.

Silicon carbide powder has been mass-produced since 1893 for use as an abrasive.

Carborundum held the man close to his face and nodded.

His face was more like somebody had worked it over with a Carborundum wheel.

I drop in a dust of carborundum, and keep the fire hot.

And not sure about you, Carborundum, because with a troll, who cares?

His work led to several patents, including one for generating light by burning carborundum.

The lead wheel was some distance from the other two, and behind it stood a jar of carborundum.

Very large editions are not possible as a small amount of carborundum comes off every time it is wiped down.

On your feet, Carborundum, and get in line.

Carborundum lifted a couple of pikes in either hand.

"They took a blank piece of glass and painted gray Carborundum on it.

He began to hone the blade carefully, with small circular movements of the carborundum.

He was sharpening a harpoon dart on a Carborundum stone.

Today carborundum is used in dozens of industries.

Carborundum is an invaluable part of modern industry.

The Carborundum Company, which made abrasives, was once one of the city's largest manufacturers.

Do you have a carborundum scriber, or a small diamond, Doc?"

The tools used were seven scrapers, one chisel and a piece of carborundum stone.

Machining of type 1 is possibly best accomplished with a carborundum wheel and water cooling.

While still in college, he worked for the Carborundum Abrasive Company.

To test this, the researchers offered the ants a choice between a nest with carborundum and one with nothing at all.

The edges of mirrors can be smoothed with a carborundum stone but using water rather than oil as the lubricant.

In the silence there was the slow rumble that preceded a pronouncement from Carborundum.
