Silicon carbide (SiC, SiSiC, SSiC) 

Silicon Carbide Ceramics ( SiC, SiSiC, SSiC), advanced industrial Ceramics

Silicon carbide behaves almost like a diamond. It is not only the lightest, but also the hardest ceramic material and has excellent thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion and is very resistant to acids and lyes.

Basic properties of the material:

The main applications are:

• bearings for pumps and compressors;

• rings of mechanical seals;

• ceramic plungers;

• elements of valves and stop valves;

• lining for protection from wear and corrosion;

• sorting wheels of various grinding machinery;

• lining for cyclones and calciners for cement plants;

• nozzles;

• crucibles, boats;

• burners;

• furniture and lining of furnaces;

• substrates, plates;

• products for the metallurgical industry.

Sintered Silicon Carbide Related Data:

Features:

• high hardness (4th after diamond);
• high thermal conductivity;
• excellent corrosion resistance;
• low coefficient of thermal expansion;
• low density;
• semiconductor properties;
• stability in a wide range of temperatures;
• low friction coefficient.

Product info & Technical Data:

• reactively bonded silicon carbide (SCR-Si1, SCR-Si2) There is free silicon in the composition of the material. This material is cheaper, but not recommended for alkali applications.

• sintered silicon carbide (SCR-S) Pure silicon carbide. More expensive, but versatile. Recommended for all environments.
