The research aims to clarify that the artist, by seeing the environment around him, can discover his raw material, which in turn is directed to new techniques that develop his plastic abilities such as silicon carbide (carborandum). In working to rationalize and develop it, and in knowing its investments in various fields and fields, such as art and art edition in particular
Among those industrial works is the use of an industrial material such as silicon carbide (carborandum), a material used with sand to roughen glass and remove rust in industrial industry and other fields. Manual methods or roughening by modern machines, each with new values.
carborandum, which was invented in 1952 by the artist Gotez Henry (1909-1989) by using silicon carbide powder (carborandum).
