Silicon Carbide

Goodrich's Electro-Optical Systems has over 15 years of experience using Silicon Carbide (SiC) to cast both complex and simple shapes for large, lightweight mirrors. Because of its very favorable thermal properties, we work in many types of SiC including chemically vapor-deposited, hot pressed, hot isostatically pressed and reaction bonded SiC.

Some properties of SiC include:

  • High Specific Stiffness

  • High Thermal Conductivity
