Carborundum, also known as silicon carbide, is a crystalline solid. It has a crystal structure similar to that of diamond and has high thermal conductivity and hardness.
It is a pseudo latin phrase (usually "nil bastardum carborundum" - but probably more correctly "illegitimi nil carborundum"?) meaning - don't let the bastards grind you down...
Illegitimi non carborundum
The cast of Nil Carborundum - 1962 includes: Graham Crowden John Thaw
It's emery.
Carborundum is used as an abrasive material in applications such as grinding, cutting, and polishing. It is also used in manufacturing processes where high hardness and wear resistance are required, such as in the production of ceramics and refractory materials. Additionally, carborundum is used in the production of semiconductors and as an abrasive in sandpaper and grinding wheels.

A silicon carbide quandary -- a carborundum conundrum
Illegitimi non carborundum is nonsense. It pretends to mean "Don't let the bastards wear you down." Mixing up fake Latin from English words for comic effect is called "macaronics."
This compound is the silicon carbide, SiC.
Carborundum boiling chips are often preferred over calcium carbonate chips in crystallization due to their inert nature, which helps to prevent unwanted side reactions during the process. Carborundum chips are also more stable at high temperatures compared to calcium carbonate chips, making them a better choice for reactions that require heating. Additionally, carborundum chips provide a more consistent and efficient boiling action, resulting in better crystal formation.
