Tlhaloso e Khutšoanyane:

Silicon carbide (SiC) e etsoa ka ho qhibilihisa mocheso o phahameng ka sebōping sa ho hanyetsa ka thepa e tala e kang lehlabathe la quartz, petroleum coke (kapa coke ea mashala), li-chips tsa lehong (letsoai lea hlokahala ho hlahisa silicon carbide e tala). Silicon carbide e boetse e teng tlhahong, e leng minerale e sa tloaelehang, moissanite. Silicon carbide e boetse e bitsoa moissanite. Har'a thepa e tala e sa sebeliseng oxide e phahameng e hanyetsang joalo ka C, N, le B, silicon carbide ke eona e sebelisoang haholo le e theko e tlaase, e ka bitsoang grit ea tšepe ea khauta kapa grit e hanyetsang. Hona joale, tlhahiso ea indasteri ea Chaena ea silicon carbide e arotsoe ka silicon carbide e ntšo le silicon carbide e tala, tseo ka bobeli e leng likristale tse nang le mahlakore a tšeletseng, tse nang le matla a khoheli a itseng a 3.20-3.25 le microhardness ea 2840-3320kg/mm2.
