One of the key characteristics of recrystallized silicon carbide is its high resistance to thermal shock. This property makes it ideal for applications where materials are exposed to sudden temperature fluctuations, such as in aerospace components, furnaces, and other industrial settings. Silicon carbide itself has a melting point of approximately 2,700°C, making it one of the most heat-resistant materials available. Recrystallized forms further improve on this feature, which is why they are often used in high-temperature environments where other materials would degrade or fail.
