I have a little confusion.

Diamond is the hardest substance and silicon carbide is also hard. Comparing these two which one is harder?

Diamond is very hardest substance, it is cutting from the laser beam.

We can observe silicon carbide in many workshops. Asnit is used as cutting tool to cut hard materials.

Ex:- lathe machines, milling machines etc.
