Silicon Carbide Plate Heat Exchangers

Plate heat exchangers offer an efficient alternative to classic shell-and-tube heat exchangers for use in extremely corrosive processes, due to their combination of design benefits with ceramic silicon carbide’s almost universal chemical and abrasion resistance.

Kerui offers sintered sic plates, reaction-bonded sic plates and recrystallized sic plates to meet your application needs. Click here for more details about their production methods.

High Strength

Silicon carbide plates are highly resilient and strong. Able to withstand temperatures up to 1600degC, they also offer corrosion protection making them suitable for industrial applications.

Ceramic materials also possess excellent thermal conductivity and expansion characteristics as well as resistance to acids, making them the perfect material choice for applications requiring excellent erosion and abrasive resistance like spray nozzles, shot blast nozzles and ceramic tubing/cyclone components.

Our sic plates are available both sintered and reaction-bonded types for your convenience, made of high purity materials and can be customized to meet any of your specific requirements. They can also be tested using Vickers or Rockwell hardness tests for hardness/flexural strength testing as well as chemical stability in harsh environments.

High Resistance to Corrosion

Silicon carbide plates are known to be highly corrosion resistant, standing up well against various types of chemicals commonly used in industrial settings like chemical processing and metal smelting. Due to this property, silicon carbide plates make an excellent choice for use in such industrial processes as these.

Additionally, this plate has low temperature change sensitivity – making it an excellent choice for applications like cut-off wheels, refractory materials, automotive components and bearing parts.

Ballistic protection products for military and law enforcement personnel also utilize this material, making it an integral component of armored vehicles and body armor to ward off bullets, shrapnel and other ballistic threats. Furthermore, composite materials combine it with other materials like boron carbide to increase strength and versatility – this combination is often known as the composite material.

High Thermal Conductivity

Silicon carbide is highly thermally conductive at elevated temperatures, enabling it to efficiently conduct heat in and out of equipment, reducing energy usage while improving efficiency.

Flexural strength and hardness of porcelain ensure it can withstand extended high-temperature exposure without softening or deforming, making it an excellent material choice for use in industrial kilns to increase furnace temperature quickly and reduce heating times, saving energy.

Nitride-bonded silicon carbide (SSiC) is an electrically conductive ceramic with low shrinkage and melting point, used in applications requiring resistance to corrosion and harsh chemical environments such as mechanical seals, pump components, semiconductor processing equipment, general industrial machine parts as well as rolling tube lining in refractory kilns for consistent heating with excellent chemical stability. GC Type is commonly employed as roller tube lining material that delivers consistent heating performance along with outstanding chemical stability.

High Flexural Strength

Silicon carbide plate offers superior flexural strength, chemical resistance and low thermal expansion compared to its metal counterparts, as well as good abrasion and erosion resistance. Used extensively in ceramic applications like nozzles, blast nozzles and kiln furniture – Kerui’s silicon carbide plates come in an assortment of shapes and sizes to meet all your needs; sintered silicon carbide (SSiC) offers exceptional mechanical strength; reaction-bonded silicon carbide plates provide versatility; while recrystallized silicon carbide offers exceptional purity compared to its counterparts.

Sintered silicon carbide is an ideal material for creating mechanical seals and bearing components, featuring excellent corrosion resistance as well as being capable of operating at high speeds. Furthermore, its thermal shock resistance and long service life make it the ideal material to make oil sludge pumps, tank draining pumps, as well as cutting-edge chemical pumps in the petroleum industry.

High Hardness

Silicon carbide plates offer incredible strength and resistance to damage, making them the ideal solution for use in industrial processes that involve handling abrasive materials or chemicals.

Silicon carbide ceramic plates can be manufactured using various manufacturing processes such as hot pressing, isostatic pressing (HIP), and reaction-bonded sintering. Depending on their manufacturing method, silicon carbide ceramic plates may either be produced as sintered silicon carbide refractory plates or recrystallized silicon carbide ceramic plates.

Solid-phase sintered silicon carbide is an exceptional heat resistant material, maintaining its strength up to 1400degC without losing strength or electrical semi-conductivity properties. Furthermore, these ceramic plates possess exceptional thermal conductivity and electrical semi-conductivity properties as well as exceptional chemical stability in corrosive environments; making it the perfect material choice for mechanical seals, pump parts and semiconductor processing equipment.
