Abstract: A new method for producing high purity SiC whiskers at low cost was introduced. Using the technique of electric field catalysis, SiC whiskers with the diameter of 100~200nm and length of 5-50μm were synthesized at 1200-1400℃. The results indicate that SiC whiskers with high purity and content can be synthesized by the reduction of SiO2 with C in an electric field furnace.

Key words: SiC, whisker, electric field furnace
