Black SiC powder is available in a variety of mesh sizes to suit different applications. Common mesh sizes and their corresponding particle size distributions are as follows:
(black sic powder mesh size)
| Mesh Size | Maximum Particle Size (μm) | Particle Size at d03 (μm) | Particle Size at d50 (μm) | Particle Size at d94 (μm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #240 | ≤127 | ≤103 | 58.6±3.0 | ≥40.0 |
| #280 | ≤112 | ≤87.0 | 49.4±3.0 | ≥33.0 |
| #320 | ≤98.0 | ≤74.0 | 41.1±2.5 | ≥27.0 |
