Claim 1
Independent Claim

PROCESS OF SYNTHESIZING SILICON CARBIDE WHICH COMPRISES HEATING IN A CONTAINER A MIXTURE OF SILICA AND COKE BOTH IN SOLID PHASE TO A REACTION TEMPERATURE WHICH IS BELOW THE MELTING POINT OF SILICA FOR AT LEAST ONE HOUR, AND NEVER RISES TO THE MELTING POINT OF SILICA, THEREBY CAUSING SOME CARBON OF THE COKE TO REMOVE THE OXYGEN OF THE SILICA AND THEREBY CAUSING THE RESULTING SILICON TO COMBINE WITH MORE CARBON OF THE COKE TO FORM SILICON CARBIDE OF CUBIC CRYSTALLINITY IN A SOLID PHASE REACTION.
