Ana rarraba samfuran siliki na carbide zuwa nau'ikan iri daban-daban bisa ga yanayin aikace-aikacen daban-daban.Gabaɗaya ana amfani da shi ta hanyar injiniya.Misali, siliki carbide abu ne mai kyau don hatimin injin siliki na siliki saboda kyakkyawan juriya na lalata sinadarai, babban ƙarfi, babban taurin, juriya mai kyau, ƙaramin juzu'i da juriya mai zafi.
Silicon carbide (SIC) kuma ana kiransa da carborundum, wanda aka yi da yashi quartz, petroleum coke (ko coke coke), guntun itace (wanda ake buƙatar ƙarawa yayin samar da siliki carbide kore) da sauransu.Silicon carbide kuma yana da ma'adinai da ba kasafai ba a yanayi, Mulberry.A cikin zamani C, N, B da sauran wadanda ba oxide high fasahar refractory albarkatun kasa, silicon carbide ne daya daga cikin mafi yadu amfani da tattalin arziki kayan, wanda za a iya kira zinariya karfe yashi ko refractory yashi.A halin yanzu, Sin na masana'antu samar da silicon carbide ya kasu kashi baki silicon carbide da koren silicon carbide, dukansu su ne hexagonal lu'ulu'u da wani rabo na 3.20 ~ 3.25 da microhardness na 2840 ~ 3320kg/mm2.
