This requires change in the furnace. Graphite Crucible vs Silicon Carbide Crucible shows SiC heats quicker. Both melt metals differently.<\/p>\n<p>High heat tasks but at different temperatures, they can run appropriately for different furnaces and alloys.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_Chemical_Resistance\"><\/span><b>\u00b7\u00a0<\/b><strong><b>Chemical Resistance<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Strong acids are easily handled by SiC.

The Graphite Crucible vs Silicon Carbide Crucible comparison shows SiC resists chemicals better.<\/p>\n<p>When molten salt is involved, this is useful.

Gases can&#8217;t get in with SiC when melting metal. This helps metals stay pure. The Graphite Crucible vs Silicon Carbide Crucible comparison shows SiC&#8217;s porosity makes it better for purity. If graphite is used in such settings, then gases can weaken the process.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_Electrical_Conductivity\"><\/span><b>\u00b7\u00a0<\/b><strong><b>Electrical Conductivity<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>SiC is electrically resistant and graphite is electrically conductive.

In <a href=\"https:\/\/jinsuncarbon.com\/fa\/graphite-electrode-for-electric-arc-furnace\/\">electric furnaces<\/a>\u00a0this is an issue. Electric arc melting depends on conductivity.<\/p>\n<p>Electrical heating is better with graphite. It&#8217;s unsuitable as electric melting, but more than suitable for insulation.

When temperatures change it, graphite can crack more easily.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, SiC can operate stably under fast changes in heat. However, each material is suitable for other uses depending on temperatures in the furnace, with SiC providing best performance when there is quick change in furnace temperatures.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_Oxidation_Resistance\"><\/span><b>\u00b7\u00a0<\/b><strong><b>Oxidation Resistance<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Graphite oxidizes at 450\u00b0C, but SiC holds stronger, taking up to 1,000\u00b0C. SiC remains strong in oxygen. It has an advantage since it is in oxygen heavy environments. Graphite has to be protected from itself, otherwise it wears down faster. In oxidation resistance SiC wins again, remaining intact during hot, oxygen full processes.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_Heat_Absorption\"><\/span><b>\u00b7\u00a0<\/b><strong><b>Heat Absorption<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>SiC absorbs less heat (at 1.23 J\/g\u00b7K) than graphite (at 1.75 J\/g\u00b7K), but it releases it faster.
