Priority for 1-5mm SiC Granules:
Fast, uniform deoxidation/reduction (e.g., high-quality/ductile iron inoculation).
Smaller furnaces or high melt uniformity required.
Better packing/filling in refractory castables or patches.
Avoid localized over-reaction from large particles.
Priority for 1-10mm SiC Granules:
Large furnaces (>10 tons) - slower, controlled Si/C release.
Cost-sensitive applications with lower uniformity needs.
Coarse aggregate in refractories for higher strength.

Both widely used: Most plants stock both sizes and switch based on furnace, alloy, and process stage. Same purity grades available.
Various grades of silicon carbide and other metallurgical products
