What is it used for?
I'm familiar with SiC in the form of grit (grinding agent, looks like fine-grained sand) when I'm making telescope optics. It's extremely hard, and it grinds glass better than anything except diamond.
- arijon 11y agoThe disk break...I guess because it has high thermal resistance. You make telescope optics? For fun or work? or both?
- Florin_Andrei 11y agoJust a hobby at the moment. Working on a 300 mm mirror right now.
- arijon 11y agoThat awesome dude. I got into amateur astronomy about two years ago when I first moved to the bay area from new york. I just purchased a celestron nextstar 4SE can't wait to test it out.
