Silicon Carbide is produced by heating silica sand and a carbon source, typically petroleum coke, to high temperatures in a large, open Acheson furnace. The result of this high temperature process is the crystalline formation of Silicon Carbide grains, of both Green and Black coloring. The color difference is due to the purity of the silicon carbide. Green SiC is of higher purity.

Aluminum Oxide is a tough, hard material often referred to by a number of other names including, Alumina, and Corundum. With a Mohs hardness of 9, Aluminum Oxide is a high strength, wear-resistant material possessing a strong ability to resist vigorous chemical attacks (such as acid and alkali) at extreme temperatures. Its high degree of refractoriness, along with its superior electrical insulating properties, dielectric properties, and high melting point make Aluminum Oxide a desirable material choice for a diverse range of applications.
