The authors studied the specimens of the self-bonded silicon carbide produced by the Brovarsk Powder Metallurgy Plant and the recrystallized silicon carbide Annanoks Sk. The ultimate bend strength was determined and oxidation was carried out on the specimens. According to the data of spectral analysis, the self-bonded SiC contained each of the impurities Ca, Mg, Fe, Al, Sn and Ti in quantities of about 0.1%, and Cu, Ni, Cr, and Mn in quantities of 0.01%. About 11% free silicon was found in the self-bonded SiC. Recrystallized silicon carbide possesses high oxidation resistance and retains its initial strength up to 1400 degrees C.
