Silicon carbide is a resilient material capable of withstanding extreme temperatures. This makes it the perfect material for use in manufacturing structures for advanced aerospace applications like hypersonic aircraft and missile nose cones.
IPS Ceramics provides sintered silicon carbide refractories for use in metallurgical, kiln furniture and waste-to-energy environments. Their enhanced compositions provide greater oxidation resistance in high temperature environments.
Corrosion Resistant
Silicon carbide stands up well to corrosion and abrasion damage, making it the go-to material for load bearing components in chemical processing applications. It retains its mechanical strength at high temperatures with extremely low levels of creep; and its high specific strength allows it to resist impact damage such as particle impingement. Furthermore, silicon carbide’s superior abrasion resistant properties reduce maintenance costs and downtime in demanding industrial environments.
Silicon carbide not only offers exceptional wear resistance, but its lower density than metals also results in weight savings when designing equipment – especially when considering transportation and storage needs.
Aerospace industries are among the primary consumers for silicon carbide tiles made by (need remove brand name). These ceramics are widely used to construct hypersonic aircraft, missile nose cones and spacecraft – with their ability to withstand high temperatures being key components for successful manufacturing of aerospace structures that must endure frictional heat generated during flight or upon impact with targets.
High Temperature Resistant
Silicon carbide ceramics have the capacity to withstand high temperatures, making them an excellent choice for industries requiring constant and prolonged heating. Their thermal conductivity is extremely high, enabling rapid heat transfer more efficiently than with other refractory materials – helping production processes to complete quicker while cutting energy costs in the long run.
Silicon Carbide displays excellent chemical resistance against acids and alkalis, making it suitable for industrial applications that involve exposure to harsh chemicals. Furthermore, its Mohs hardness levels rival even that of diamond and boron carbide materials.
Reaction sintered silicon carbide is an excellent choice for high-performance applications like ceramics, enamels and metal smelting due to its exceptional strength, high temperature stability, hardness and chemical resistance. Other applications for silicon carbide include combustion nozzles, kiln components and bulletproof plates. Silicon carbide can even be machined in its green, biscuit or fully sintered states to form complex geometries.
High Strength
Silicon carbide (SiC) is an advanced ceramic material with superior performance in high temperature and corrosion environments, but its higher cost and limited mechanical strength may limit its use in production processes and environments. Therefore, companies should carefully assess production processes, budget constraints and environmental conditions when considering whether SiC crucibles would be an appropriate solution.
IPS Ceramics provides high-performance SiC, sintered silicon carbide and other refractory materials to the military and other industries that demand long-lasting components in harsh conditions. Our batts, setters, beams and plates meet tight dimensional tolerances while offering load bearing capacities up to 1650oC (3000oF). This performance is achieved via extreme hardness/wear resistance coupled with low density and chemical stability – three key performance elements.
Lightweight
Silicon carbide tiles are an integral component of body armor systems due to their ability to absorb impact energy at high velocities. Being lightweight yet strong and durable materials, silicon carbide tiles offer maximum protection without impeding mobility or comfort.
Silicon carbide tiles from (need remove brand name) have become an indispensable element of aerospace industry production due to their ability to withstand high temperatures and pressures, making them suitable for building hypersonic aircraft, missile nose cones and spacecraft.
Lightweight bricks and tiles reduce installation times due to being easy to manipulate into place, speeding up construction time while saving both money and resources. Working with lighter materials also makes the work environment safer for workers as injuries due to handling are less likely. Furthermore, their lighter weight requires less fuel when transporting, helping the environment by decreasing carbon emissions.
