[PAR] [TLE] Carborundum printmaking [SEP] Carborundum printmaking is a collagraph printmaking technique in which the image is created by adding light passages to a dark field.  It is a relatively new process invented in the US during the 1930s that allows artists to work on a large scale.  Normally, cardboard or wood plates are coated in a layer of carborundum or screen, and the lights are created by filling in the texture with screen filler or glue.  Carborundum prints may be printed as intaglio plates. [PAR] [TLE] Silicon carbide [SEP] Silicon carbide (SiC), also known as carborundum , is a compound of silicon and carbon with chemical formula SiC.  It occurs in nature as the extremely rare mineral moissanite.  Synthetic silicon carbide powder has been mass-produced since 1893 for use as an abrasive.  Grains of silicon carbide can be bonded together by sintering to form very hard ceramics that are widely used in applications requiring high endurance, such as car brakes, car clutches and ceramic plates in bulletproof vests. Electronic applications of silicon carbide such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and detectors in early radios were first demonstrated around 1907.  SiC is used in semiconductor electronics devices that operate at high temperatures or high voltages, or both.  Large single crystals of silicon carbide can be grown by the Lely method; they can be cut into gems known as synthetic moissanite.  Silicon carbide with high surface area can be produced from SiO contained in plant material.
