Natural corundum minerals: ground and polished white corundum fine powder, brown corundum grit, and black corundum abrasives—hardness, content, and applications.

Among natural corundum minerals, white fused alumina micron powder, brown fused alumina grain‑size abrasive, and black fused alumina abrasives rank just below diamond abrasives in hardness. These materials—white fused alumina micron powder, brown fused alumina grain‑size abrasive, and black fused alumina (Al₂O₃)—belong to the trigonal crystal system; their crystals exhibit a transition from ionic to covalent bonding and possess a relatively compact structure. Individual crystals typically occur as drum‑shaped or columnar forms, while aggregates appear granular or densely massive. The color is generally bluish‑gray or yellowish‑gray, with iron‑bearing varieties appearing black. They display a vitreous luster, have a Mohs hardness of 9, and lack cleavage. Twinning often gives rise to cleavage planes along {0001} or {101}. Their density ranges from 3.95 to 4.10 g/cm³, and they are chemically stable. When chromium‑containing specimens exhibit a red hue, they are referred to as rubies; those containing titanium and displaying a blue color are called sapphires.

Where is silicon carbide mainly used?

Silicon carbide is produced by high‑temperature smelting in an electric resistance furnace, using raw materials such as quartz sand, petroleum coke (or coal coke), and wood chips (with the addition of common salt when producing green silicon carbide).
