"It takes >2000 degrees centigrade to melt it- that's over 3632 degrees fahrenheit"

I can see why the military was/is so high on this material. The 'big' one goes off but the SiC chips are still left running... of course nothing else will be .. but that's a different story! <g>

I can also see why power companies are interested in this material. Among it's many other properties it can take the heat and still operate. Any heated device (e.g. engine, furnace, friction devices etc..) would be a natural for this stuff.
