Low density and high strength 
  Good resistance to high temperature 
  Good wear resistance and anti-friction properties
  Excellent resistance to sudden changes in temperature
  Good chemical resistance and oxidation resistance
  Low thermal expansion and high thermal conductivity (superior to steel)
  Good electrical conductivity

 

  Fixed and moving turbine component 
  Seals, bearings, pump vanes, ball valve parts
  To be used in refractory industry and metallurgical industry e.g. kiln furniture etc
  Heat exchanger  e.g. electric heat elements  etc 
 Semiconductor water processing equipment  e.g. wire saw  polishing plates for semiconductor wafer  
 Due to its high hardness and brittle granular  it is used as abrasive agent  grinding wheel sandpaper etc  in abrasive field  and as sharpening abrasive on wood and metal
 Other using  lightening arresters  wear components for paper-making machines  special seals for chemical processing industry  etc
