Silicon carbide powder comprising alpha phase silicon carbide granules of trimodal particle size distribution and low impurities

摘要

A silicon carbide powder includes at least one group selected from a first group comprising an alpha phase silicon carbide pulverulent body of which a granule size (D50) is greater than 0 μm and less than 45 μm with impurities less than 10 ppm, a second group comprising an alpha phase silicon carbide pulverulent body of which a granule size is greater than 45 μm and less than 75 μm with impurities less than 10 ppm, and a third group comprising an alpha phase silicon carbide pulverulent body of which a granule size is greater than 75 μm and less than 110 μm with impurities less than 10 ppm. In addition, a method for preparing a silicon carbide powder includes adding seeds to a beta silicon carbide powder, and forming an alpha silicon carbide powder by heat treating the beta silicon carbide powder.
