Zogulitsa za silicon carbide zimagawidwa m'mitundu yambiri kutengera malo osiyanasiyana ogwiritsira ntchito. Nthawi zambiri amagwiritsidwa ntchito pamakina. Mwachitsanzo, silicon carbide ndi chinthu choyenera kusindikizira makina a silicon carbide chifukwa cha kukana kwake kwa dzimbiri, mphamvu zambiri, kuuma kwakukulu, kukana kuvala bwino, kugundana kwazing'ono komanso kukana kutentha kwambiri.
Silicon carbide (SIC) imadziwikanso kuti carborundum, yomwe imapangidwa ndi mchenga wa quartz, petroleum coke (kapena coke coke), tchipisi tamatabwa (zomwe ziyenera kuwonjezeredwa popanga green silicon carbide) ndi zina zotero. Silicon carbide imakhalanso ndi mchere wosowa m'chilengedwe, mabulosi. M'masiku ano C, N, B ndi zinthu zina zopanda okusayidi zapamwamba zopangira zopangira, silicon carbide ndi imodzi mwazinthu zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri komanso zachuma, zomwe zitha kutchedwa mchenga wachitsulo wagolide kapena mchenga wowuma. Pakalipano, kupanga mafakitale a silicon carbide ku China kumagawidwa kukhala silicon carbide yakuda ndi silicon carbide yobiriwira, zonse zomwe zili ndi makristasi a hexagonal ndi gawo la 3.20 ~ 3.25 ndi microhardness ya 2840 ~ 3320kg / mm2.
