Carborex C-5Carborex C-5 is a green, high purity, friable, medium density silicon carbide. It is most commonly used for grinding hard, brittle materials such as cemented carbides where fast, cool cutting is desirable. It is also available with a silane treated surface treatment
Carborex C-5 is used in bonded abrasive products and vitrified bonded grinding wheels. It is also used in many refractory and ceramic applications including ceramic armor, kiln furniture, composites, and aerospace applications.
Carborex C-6 is a black, semi-friable, medium density, silicon carbide abrasive.
Carborex C-6 is used in both organic and vitrified grinding wheels for grinding hard or brittle materials such as cast iron, ceramics, and glass. It is also used for grinding low tensile strength, ductile, non-ferrous metals and is available with a silane surface treatment.
