Manufacturing recrystallized silicon carbide involves shaping fine silicon carbide powders using processes like extrusion, slip casting, or pressing. The shaped green bodies are then sintered at temperatures typically exceeding 2,000°C. During this sintering process, the silicon carbide particles recrystallize without the use of sintering aids or binders. This leads to a microstructure composed of long, interlocking grains that provide the material with excellent strength, durability, and thermal conductivity.
