text: Although it oxidizes in air at above 1600°C, silicon carbide's upper limit of stability is around 2500°C and has a melting temperature of around 2830°C, and its peculiarly good thermal conductivity (comparable to that of copper) make it a very useful material for use as heating elements in furnaces.
