Due to its affordability and longevity, Silicon Carbide is a widely used abrasive in modern lapidary. Its hardness is also employed in industry for abrasive machining techniques as honing, grinding, sandblasting, and water-jet cutting. For the grip tape on skateboards and sandpapers, silicon carbide particles are glued to paper.
High performance "ceramic" brake discs made of silicon-infiltrated carbon-carbon composite are employed because they can resist extremely high temperatures. In the carbon-carbon composite, silicon interacts with the graphite to create carbon-fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC). The Bugatti Veyron, Porsche Carrera GT, McLaren P1, Ferrari, Bentley, Lamborghini, and other high-performance Audi vehicles are only a few supercars, road-going sports cars, and other performance vehicles that can utilise these brake discs. Diesel particle filters can also be made of sintered silicon carbide. Moreover, it is employed as an oil additive to lessen friction, harmonics, and pollutants.
