Karubide ya silicon (SiC) ikorwa no gushongesha ubushyuhe bwinshi mu itanura rishobora gushonga hakoreshejwe ibikoresho fatizo nk'umucanga wa quartz, peteroli coke (cyangwa coke y'amakara), uduce tw'ibiti (umunyu urakenewe kugira ngo hakorwe karubide ya silicon y'icyatsi). Karubide ya silicon nayo ibaho mu bidukikije, ibuye ry'agaciro ridasanzwe, moissanite. Karubide ya silicon nayo yitwa moissanite. Mu bikoresho bidasanzwe bidafite okiside nka C, N, na B, karubide ya silicon niyo ikoreshwa cyane kandi ihendutse, kandi ishobora kwitwa grit ya zahabu cyangwa grit idashobora gushonga. Kuri ubu, umusaruro wa karubide ya silicon mu Bushinwa ugabanyijemo karubide ya silicon y'umukara na karubide ya silicon y'icyatsi, byombi bikaba ari kristu zifite uburemere bwa 3.20-3.25 n'ubukomere bwa 2840-3320kg / mm2.

Karubide ya silikoni ifite ibice bine by'ingenzi bikoreshwa, ari byo: ibumba rikora neza, imashini zikora neza, imashini zikora ibintu bikozwe mu byuma. Ibikoresho bya karubide ya silikoni bishobora gutangwa ku bwinshi kandi ntibishobora gufatwa nk'ibicuruzwa by'ikoranabuhanga rihanitse. Gukoresha ifu ya karubide ya silikoni ifite ubunini buhanitse cyane ntabwo bishoboka ko bizatera ubukungu mu gihe gito.

⑴Nk'igikoresho cyo gusya, gishobora gukoreshwa mu gukora ibikoresho byo gusya, nk'amapine yo gusya, amabuye y'amavuta, imitwe yo gusya, amatafari y'umucanga, n'ibindi.

⑵Nk'ikintu gikoresha ibyuma bisukura umwuka kandi kirwanya ubushyuhe bwinshi.

⑶ Amakristaro amwe y’umutuku mwinshi ashobora gukoreshwa mu gukora semiconductors na fibres za silicon carbide.
