Silicon carbide retains most of its mechanical strength at elevated temperatures and exhibits very low levels of creep, making it the first choice for load-bearing appliions in the range 1300 to 1650oC (2400 to 3000oF).
Ukusabela eziboshiwe Silicon Carbide azigcina kakhulu ngamandla alo mechanical at okushisa ephakeme nemibukiso amazinga aphansi kakhulu ungangena, okwenza kube choice lokuqala for izicelo umthwalo esindayo kule 1300oC ububanzi 1650oC (2400oC ukuze 3000oF).
