This market is also known as the Engineered Ceramics or Technical Ceramics Industry. Under its Structural Ceramic Group, it contains ceramic wear parts, such as pump seals and ceramic armor. Superior Graphite is a supplier of high performance sub-micron silicon carbide powder to these markets and a manufacturer of ceramic armor.

The highly-sinterable Beta silicon carbide and Alpha silicon carbide powders from Superior Graphite (HSC® Silicon Carbide Powder) are ideal candidates for processing into parts, due to their proven sintered mechanical properties, along with traditional corrosion/oxidation resistance, and thermal conductivity.

Superior Graphite has developed its own silicon carbide directly pressable powder to make pressureless sintered SiC armor tiles, as it grows its participation in the advanced ceramic industry.
