text: Reaction-bonded silicon carbide is produced by mixing SiC powder with powdered carbon and a plasticizer, forming the mixture into the desired shape, burning off the plasticizer, and then infusing the fired object with gaseous or molten silicon, which reacts with the carbon to form additional SiC. Wear-resistant layers of SiC can be formed by chemical vapour deposition, a process in which volatile compounds containing carbon and silicon are reacted at high temperatures in the presence of hydrogen.
text: It occurs in clay, feldspar, granite, quartz and sand, mainly in the form of silicon dioxide (also known as silica) and silicates (compounds containing silicon, oxygen and metals).
text: Other than silicon dioxide, the most common forms of silicon in nature are silicates, compounds that contain silicon, oxygen, and other elements such as magnesium, aluminum, calcium, and phosphorus.
