Silicon carbide is an extremely hard and strong material with excellent corrosion-resistance, an impressive Mohs hardness rating of 9.5 (second only to diamond).
Kerui offers recrystallized and reaction-sintered silicon carbide refractory plates in different sizes. Depending on their manufacturing process, these plates may be utilized in various applications.
High Temperature Resistance
Silicon carbide plates are a fantastic choice for high-temperature applications as they maintain their strength even at extremely high temperatures, boasting low thermal expansion rates. This characteristic makes them suitable for applications such as cut-off wheels and grinding wheels in the metalworking industry as well as automotive components and bearings.
Silicon Carbide plates can serve as substrates for semiconductor devices, increasing efficiency and lifespan while contributing to enhanced electronic applications such as electric vehicles, 5G communications networks and photovoltaic power generation.
Silicon carbide plates are often employed by military vehicles for vehicle protection due to their lightweight properties and lightweight shrapnel protection capabilities. Furthermore, these lightweight plates serve as shields and barricades in law enforcement/security operations during riot control/hostage rescue missions.
High Strength
Silicon carbide plates offer remarkable strength and stiffness, withstanding mechanical wear as well as temperatures reaching high temperatures, making them the ideal material choice for components that must withstand rugged environments and remain functional even under environmental degradation. Furthermore, their chemical resistance allows them to withstand corrosion-causing substances without becoming degraded over time – an asset in any harsh environment.
B4C stands out in both hardness and wear resistance, making it an essential component in defense applications such as armor protection for armored vehicles, nuclear safety equipment and nuclear waste storage containers. Industrially speaking, silicon carbide is often employed as cutting-off and grinding wheels or used as wear-resistant components in ball mills and automotive components.
Silicon Carbide can also be found in metal matrix composites (Si-SiC MMCs), providing both strength and thermal properties in one material. With high thermal conductivity and a low expansion coefficient, Si-SiC MMCs ensure stability even in applications involving rapid heating or cooling cycles.
High Corrosion Resistance
Silicon carbide plate offers exceptional corrosion resistance that allows it to endure various chemicals, while also being hard and wear resistant, with excellent thermal conductivity properties. Due to these characteristics, silicon carbide is used in high temperature furnaces and semiconductor manufacturing equipment owing to its ability to withstand extreme environments; electronics applications include dissipating heat more effectively thereby improving performance and lifespan of components.
Chemical resistance of titanium alloy is due to its low iron content, which prevents rust formation on its surface. Other common applications for it include cut-off wheels or grinding wheels for cutting materials; refractory materials; automobile components; ceramic sintering kiln linings that optimize space while increasing capacity; as well as bulletproof vests and armored vehicles that offer NIJ IV level protection from various threats.
High Thermal Conductivity
Silicon carbide plates are known for their exceptional hardness, wear resistance and lightweight nature – qualities which make them indispensable in many industrial settings. Their applications span from iron and steel smelting to kiln furniture and spray nozzles; each application benefits from these ceramics’ resistance against thermal shock, erosion and corrosion.
Silicon carbide plates offer impressive heat dissipation capabilities, making them the ideal material for electronic components. Their design can withstand high temperatures while remaining chemical resistant.
