Sintered Silicon Carbide SiSiC, like Saint-Gobain's proprietary Hexoloy ® brand, is produced at extremely high temperatures (~2,000°C) in inert atmospheres using a range of forming methodologies, including dry-pressing and extrusion. Reaction bonded, or siliconized, silicon carbide is formed using a porous carbon feedstock and molten silicon via additive forming, casting or extrusion.
