Silion Carbidce

Silicon carbide can also be called SiC. According to the shape, there are silicon carbide blocks and silicon carbide powder.

Silicon carbide is a non-metallic mineral product made at 1800℃ and above with quartz sand and anthracite or petroleum coke as basic raw materials. It can increase the carbon, silicon, and manganese absorption rates, and has completely replaced previously-used silicon iron and high-carbon manganese. It not only reduces costs but also improves the overall economic benefits of steelmaking. It is an important raw material widely used in refractory materials, steel industry, foundry industry.

Recently, the overall price of silicon carbide in China has remained stable. The downstream demand trend is generally affected by the favorable market conditions of the Golden Nine and Silver Ten. The supply of silicon carbide continues to be stable and the market trend is improving.

Up to now, the mainstream price of F240 (for reaction sintering) in Shandong, China is 2876.71USD/ton, the mainstream price of W14 (for reaction sintering) is 3103.70USD/ton, and the price of 90 black silicon carbide raw block (Si≥90%) is 698.63 The mainstream price of 90 silicon carbide fine powder (Si≥90%) is around 821.92 USD/ton, and the mainstream price of 97 silicon carbide fine powder (Si≥96.7%) is around 1068.50 USD/ton.

On the whole, downstream demand is average, and most manufacturers mainly consume inventory. The supply and demand relationship can basically maintain a tight balance. Hainan West Asia predicts that domestic silicon carbide prices will remain stable in the short term.
