Cutting devices would be a natural for SiC. Somewhere I read that SiC was the 2nd or 3rd (I forget which) hardest known substance in the world. Not only is it 'hardened' but it's almost immune to heat and other abrasives such as acid.

Man (!) I can't wait until CREE starts licensing it's manufacturing processes to other companies. This material could take off like wildfire in a hundreds of different market places. Can you imagine QCOM/CDMA technology but x 100?

Now I just hope the Russians or someone else hasn't already come up with as efficient of a SiC growing process. You KNOW their military had to be using this stuff as well. But we would even have a head start there as CREE has/is already patenting their technology right and left - and in many cases that, presenting findings in trade journals and showing commercial use of your invention is what counts. Even if you didn't get there first.
