Amatafari akozwe muri silikoni ni ibikoresho bishobora gusha bikozwe ahanini mu gikoresho ca silikoni (SiC). Zifise ubukomezi bwa Mohs bwa 9 kandi zigaragaza ubushobozi bwiza bwo guhangana n’ibisigazwa vy’aside. Ivyo birimwo SiC biva kuri 72% gushika kuri 99%. Ubwoko burimwo amatafari y’ibumba-afatanye, Si3N4{9}}afatanye, Sialon{10}}afatanye, -SiC-afatanye, Si2ON2-afatanye, n’amatafari ya silikoni yasubiwemwo. Bikoreshwa canecane mu bikorwa nk’ibikoresho vyo gukoresha mu gukora ivyuma bitagira ivyuma, ibikoresho vyo gutera ivyuma vy’aluminium, ibikoresho vyo gupfuka ifuru y’umuyagankuba, n’ibikoresho vyo guhindura ubushuhe.
Ivyo ni ibintu bishobora guhangana n’umuriro bikozwe ahanini bivuye mu gikoresho citwa silicon carbide, bifise SiC iri hagati ya 72% na 99%. Mu bisanzwe, silicon carbide yirabura (ifise SiC irenga 96%) ni yo ikora nk’ibikoresho vya mbere; amatafari akorwa mu buryo bujanye n’uguteranya, kuyavanga, kuyahingura no kuyatera, hakaba harimwo canke hatashizwemwo ikintu co kuyafatanya. Igipande ca mbere c’ikibiriti ni carbure ya silikoni. Ubwoko buhambaye ni nk’amatafari afatanye n’ivyuma vy’umuyagankuba, afatanye n’ivyuma vy’umuyagankuba, afatanye n’ivyuma vy’umuyagankuba, afatanye n’ivyuma vy’umuyagankuba, afatanye n’ivyuma vy’umuyagankuba, n’amatafari y’ivyuma vy’umuyagankuba. Irangwa no guhangana n’ugusambuka n’ugusenyuka, ubukomezi bwinshi bw’ubushuhe bwinshi, ubushuhe bwiza bwo guhungabana, ubushobozi bwo gutwara ubushuhe bwinshi, n’ubushobozi bwo kwagura ubushuhe buke, bishirwa mu rwego rw’ibikoresho bishobora guhangana n’ubushuhe bukomeye cane.
