There is provided a method of making a larger percentage of coarsely crystalline silicon carbide in an Acheson furnace comprising packing the silica and coke ingredients forming a reaction mix around a centrally disposed heat source (14), confining the mix between gates (22, 24) which hold the mix in an insulated zone (20) surrounding said source (14), supplying energy to said source (14) for raising the temperature within the mass to at least about 1800 DEG C for reacting all of the ingredients in the mix between the heat source (14) and the gates (22, 24) to form finely crystalline silicon carbide, and then increasing the crystal size of the silicon carbide in the reacted mass by increasing the temperature of the reacted mass between the heat source (14) and the gates (22, 24) to a temperature between 2000 DEG C to 2500 DEG C. |
